My computer uploaded Windows 2 years ago and my Adobe CS6... photoshop would not work. It strobed. I do not want to use the cloud version. I am retired and only need a few of the functions and it is not worth paying a monthly fee. My programs Illustrator and Photoshop serve my needs.

Have they fixed this bug? I am so disappointed as I love my Windows 7. I want my Adobe CS Suite to work. Help.

    Hi Kris,

    I have been researching on this query related to CS6 on Windows 10. Upon research I see that Windows 10 is not a supported operating system for CS6 and earlier product versions.

    You may also refer the section Adobe Support Policy for full details about the support policies provided by the Adobe.

    Hi Kris,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with the working of Adobe CS6 on Windows 10.

    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

    1. What is the exact error code or error message you have received when you try to use Adobe CS6?
    2. Which version of Windows is installed on your device?

    Refer the article Which Windows operating system am I running to provide the details.

    I am sorry to inform you that CS6 is not compatible with Windows 10 Operating system. This is the root cause of the issue.

    I suggest you to refer the article System requirements | Adobe Creative suite 6 for more information regarding the system requirements.

    However, you can also try to run the application (Adobe CS6) in compatibility mode. To do so,

    1. Right click or press and hold on the .exe file or shortcut of an Adobe CS6 app and click on Properties.
    2. Go to Compatibility tab, then check the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode for. Note: You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do this step.
    3. Select the version of Windows to use for your application in the drop-down box.
    4. Click Apply and OK to save the change.

    You may also refer the article Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows as an additional information.

    You may also get in touch with the Adobe support for any further assistance regarding this issue.
