An unexpected error occurred on Adobe Photoshop while opening it; Unable to continue because of a hardware or software error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.

Here’s the solution to the problem:

1. Launch or Open the Adobe Photoshop, then quickly hold press the 3 keys (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT Buttons).

2. As the Photoshop Loads, it will prompt a dialog box asking you if would like to “Delete the Photoshop Settings File?” from here, click Yes.

3. It will successfully load the Photoshop, reload or input your previous settings (if you have one) then exit the Photoshop. Restart your computer for best results.

4. Then Launch or Open the Adobe Photoshop. You should able to start without any errors.

I hope this simple tip helps you out! Cheers! 😀
