P: Strokes appear on shapes after reopening files

Hello! I often use rectangular shapes in Photoshop filled with a color. I've noticed that after I save a psd, close it, then reopen it, shapes I used get a black 1 px strokes which can be seen in the properties panel but they are not visible on the shapes. If I decide to change the fill color of the shape, the border appears suddenly. The problem appeared in the 22.0 version.

Does anyone know why the new Photoshop 22 adds black stroke 1px width for every shape?

I mean not only when you create a new shape. Although previously new shapes were created by default with no stroke. And I really know very few cases when you need a stroke right away.

But the main headache is when you open a document from a previous version and Photoshop adds a black stroke 1px width to all shapes layers. This is very, very inconvenient. I am working with thousands of files and the same number of layers. Should I spend a few months removing strokes manually?

I use the last version 22.0.1  

Dear Adobe! Can you fix this issue?

I've been very patient but it's very frustrating and you guys don't do anything about it!

Is this a joke? We've been reporting this error for over a month now - and you don't do anything about it! Maybe if the engineers can't solve the problems, ask for others?

Still not fixed in 22.1.0, and many users seem to be having this issue. For me, it makes this release unusable.

The new update didn't work with mine, either. Still having black stroke added to shapes. When I convert type to a shape, a black stroke is added.

I am getting the same issue on white fonts with a heavier weight. Very annoying-- even after updating to the latest version on Dec 2. I had to download an older version (21.2.4) to "Convert to Shape" and that seemed to work. Good luck.

Converting Text to Shape there is a black stroke that can not be deleted, changed, or something else! What to do with this?
