P: Photoshop creates a gude log while working with files

I Have the latest PS version and there is no such thing as:

Preferences > Performance... click Advanced Settings... and uncheck "GPU Compositing"

There is only "Open CL" - Anti Alias Guides..." and 30 bit Display

Unless you meant "Multithread Compositing" ... but that is not in Advanced...??

Why are people, let alone professionals, give such strange advise? 

His post was from April 22 and advanced settings cannot be so different since then

For a few days now, every time I use Photoshop, a 'gude' file is created for me. Is this some kind of bug? It is very annoying how every day such files are created. Maybe this is indicative of a bug that needs to be fixed?

Here is the content:

I did the same. I created a new post to draw attention as I thought the older post and bug was resolved with an update 23.1 something.  I was disappointed to find that it was merged with this one. There are so many unnecessary comments that I feel the genuine comments re this bug will get buried.

Here: 

I don't like that my separate post was merged into this one - I separated a new post deliberately to try to draw attention as I feel all the comments in this mega thread are just lost now - is anyone from Adobe looking at this topic?

Why is Photoshop 24 now creating a text file each time I open a PSD? I just updated a couple days ago. Yesterday was the first time I opened a PSD. The first time it did it, I thought, where did that file come from? I deleted it. But then the next time I opened Photoshop, I paid attention and it is creating the text file. Is there a way to stop this? I don't want all the clutter from these extra text files in every folder where I keep a PSD for a client. 

Same problem here. I've been getting gude files for over two weeks now. Photoshop 24.1, Windows 11

Bonjour,
je rencontre le même problème que vous, et je ne trouve pas la solution pour supprimer ce bugg.
J'espère que quelqu'un pourras apporter la solution. Merci.
Bonne journée.

I'm always in favor of using the right tools for the job. There are realities for every professional and we all have to do what works for us. I'd just steer clear of blanket statements.

Remember that some professional drivers operate race cars, some drive taxicabs, and some are behind the wheel of a dump truck. Buts it all good.

Yes a working pro too for over 30 years, everything from photography, image editing to video and found it to be more of a hinderance then a help especially dealing with 100s to 1000s of images daily. Most people here are the same way, some absolutely hate it. If it's working for you then more power to you and enjoy :); just trying to give the other side of the coin in leu of the constant promo and over hyping.

Well, you are on your own [removed]!
