(I set all of mine to Windows 7, because that's what I ran before and everything worked.) This suggestion is in contradiction to what everyone else here says, all I know isįrom your backup shortcuts, highlight a program shortcut icon with one left click, then one right click, scroll to the bottom and select 'Properties', select the 'Compatbility' tab, - CHECK the Compatibility mode in the section underneath the Run compatibility I didn't haveĪny problems raising the level of compatibility to Windows 7 or 8 compatibility. Some of the programs are not compatible with Windows X when running with Vista compatibility, so better to ensure your Photoshop is running at least at Windows 7 or higher.

Most all of the programs default automatically to run in Vista mode. Everything seem to work a bit faster and smoother, even on my old and tired Sony VAIO with only 4GB of RAM memory.

I really like Win 10 and now ready to upgrade my 'good' computer. These three apps work fine with Windows 10.Īlso Adobe Premiere Elements 9 was found the same way, but in Adobe folder.

Īfter upgrading from Win 7 to 10, I was able to find Adobe CS4 InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop by clicking the Start button then All Apps then Adobe Design Standard folder. It is too bad Microsoft did not notify me when they evaluated my system for Windows 10 upgrade or I would have stayed with Windows 7. I use these apps frequently to do volunteer graphics work and just hate having to pay a monthly subscription to Adobe to switch to their cloud base apps when everything was working just fine. I can't even find those programs on my laptop! I wish I could say that about the rest of my Adobe Suite, like InDesign and Illustrator. I just upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 and my Adobe Photoshop CS4 works just fine.

Try these steps.ġ) Go to All Apps and find Adobe Photoshop CS4ģ) Go to Open File location which will bring you to the shortcutĤ) Right click the shortcut and find Properties at the end of listĥ) You should see a compatibility tab then click the compatibility list and try and earlier version of Windows. I don't have this program but you might try to see if it works with the compatibility mode.
