Photoshop Elements 9 not working after Win 10 updates

[Treetotal]

After the recent windows 10 updates, Photoshop Elements 9 no longer configures properly, the menu drop down boxes are blank and some features are missing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software but the problem persists. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a case of upgrading or has anyone got any helpful tips. I have looked at resolving the problem on various online forums but haven't reached a satisfactory solution...Maybe the obvious solution is to upgrade...unless anyone has any other advice  Help!!!

W10 takes over a lot of Defaults, in favour of Window's stuff!

If you type Default in Search box then check what the Default is for .jpeg etc and set it to what you want...

Also, If you use Firefox or T/Bird etc you might want to select it to have all defaults, it could be set for 6 out of 11 etc, set it to All

Thanks Hallmark for your helpful suggestions..I don't use Firefox or T/Bird but will get OH to investigate your suggestions but I fear updating Photoshop Elements software may be the answer

I got the Win 10 Creators update in June and my PSE 9 still works perfectly. However I only ever run the Editor by selecting
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"

and not the full program (the organiser just ate up all the cpu processing and was simply a pain)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\Photoshop Elements 9.0.exe"

I haven't tried the full program to see if this causes the problem just in case it messes the editor menus up so I can't say whether this may be the problem or not, but maybe give just the editor a go. Maybe straight after a reinstallation as well.

The win 10 updates happened two days ago and my Elements 9 stopped working. Thanks for your response Simon....I and my OH have spend much of the day trying all solutions on the various online forums including Hallmark's suggestion and none of them solved the problem 
I gave in in the end and ordered new software. I can't help but wonder if Microsoft and Adobe are in cahoots with one another as neither seem to offer a satisfactory solution 
They call it progress...I call it legalised theft.

It's an odd problem, I've just looked at the second copy I have on a laptop which doesn't yet have the Creator's update, and that is also ok, both have last week's updates. Hopefully your new software will have lots of new and better features which you'll wonder how you managed without

There is a lot of confusion and contradictory information out there about the win 10 compatibility of different software it's confusing 
I'm sure you are right Simon....I just resent being forced out of my comfort zone

My PSE 9 still works ok.... bit late now to give it a good check over but it worked a couple of days ago editing and resizing some baptism records.
