Windows 10: Can't open Photoshop CS6 ".PSD" file, "Open" Button is greyed out in the open menu for...

I need help, I went to try and open a file containing what I need for a project, but it will not open!

I have tried to double click it, right clicking it but I have no success, even the open button is greyed out!

I notice that there is a small "X" on the psd file, too.

Anyone please help ASAP!

I tried to ask around the Photoshop community, but someone told me to ask around the Microsoft community.


Example of one of the files I tried to open:

Open a PSD file

Windows 10. I'm using the Set Default Programs item from the Default Programs control panel item to set the default associations for certain file types (you get a list of possible associations for the selected
program from which you can pick whichever associations you want).

However, the list seems rather short compared to all the programs I have installed and somewhat arbitrary. I need to open .psd file using adobe photoshop express, but it does not appear on the list. The
default program assigned is Paint- which is unable to open the file type. The only program option it gives me are Internet Explorer, Epson Monitor (related to my printer) or search windows store (which is a useless option). Where do I go from here?

 

Open a PSD file

Hi Sandy,

Right click on any psd file, choose 'Open With' - choose another app

Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open psd files'

Scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

If PS Express still does not appear in the list, scroll to the bottom and choose 'Look for another app on this PC'

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe

Find the PS Express executable and choose that

This should set the files association on the psd files for you
