P: Error messages with Photoshop 23.0: "Fail to call postmessage as webview is not initialized yet".

Since I installed Photoshop version 23.0 I have a problem: Whenever I start the program; whenever I open a file; or whenever I switch from one file to another, from among the open files, I get several popup messages, all with the same message.

 

"Fail to call postmessage as webview is not initialized yet".

 

I don't know why this happens, but with Photoshop 22 it didn't happen.

 

Can anyone help me to solve this problem? It's annoying to have to close the three or four popup windows every time they appear.

The messages are really annoying.

 

They appear when opening PS, when opening or closing any file, when switching views between different open files, and when applying some filters or third party plugins.

 

When it happens, several popup messages appear at the same time, all the same, with the same message. And you have to close them one by one, with the consequent loss of time and attention at work.

 

I had to go back to the previous version of Photoshop, because it is not possible to work like this.

 

I suppose that all of us affected by this problem would be very grateful for some help from Adobe to solve this problem.

 

We look forward to a prompt solution.

 

Thank you.

System popup: Fail to call PostMessage as webview is not initialized yet.

Windows 10 and the last Adobe update LR/PS is done.

 

Please help me.

What happens if you launch Photoshop by itself without Lightroom in the mix? Does it launch OK?
