Windows 10: Can't open Photoshop after latest Windows 10 update

Hi, I have an old version of Photoshop 6.0.1 which now won't open after a Windows update today. I get an error that says 'sorry unable to continue because of a hardware or system error, sorry but this error is unrecoverable'.


Asking on the Adobe help pages, people re saying to just use an old version of Windows, but this doesn't work as I would have to update eventually. The trouble shooter also does not work.


I am wondering if anyone else had this problem and it they have found a workaround, or is this a bug that Microsoft might fix before I go and buy a newer version of Photoshop?


Thanks.

Lisa.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
