Agreed, you shouldn’t have to do this, but there is a fairly simple workaround if you can’t find the real solution.
1. Navigate to the folder where Photoshop is installed
2. Open the ‘Help’ folder
3. scroll down to ‘help.html’
4. Right-click and drag ‘help.html’ to your desktop
5. Select ‘Create a Shortcut Here’ from the pop-up menu
6. Close the Photoshop folder(s)
7. Right-click on the ‘help.html’ shortcut icon on your desktop
8. Select ‘Properties’ from the pop-up menu
9. Click on the ‘Shortcut’ tab if it is not open
10. Put your cursor in the ‘Shortcut key:’ edit box
11. Hold down the Ctrl and Alt keys and press a letter key (example: Ctrl-Alt-H)
12 The edit box should show the keys you pressed
13. Click ‘Apply’ and ‘Close’
Now you can access Photoshop Help at any time by pressing Ctrl-Alt-H (or whatever). Hope this helps.

I seem to be unable to access the Photoshop Help option from the Help
option when I click on it. I don’t know what the problem is? Can anyone give me an answer to this problem and guide me through the process of correcting it?
