Have had this same issue now for months.  Running the latest nvidia drivers on a GTX980ti Bridge CC 2019 works fine if I open it independently, but if I right click a folder and browse with bridge, this error occurs every single time. Right clicking from explorer is far more useful on occasions, and this is rendering Bridge next to useless for me at the moment ... View more

wow, that's pretty crazy - 27 days ago - so presume this issue was present on insider builds and Microsoft decided to deploy it anyway!  Thanks for posting that, think I'll stick with the notepad method for now as I dont trust changing the registry to not cause other problems down the line. ...

also, could anyone explain the difference between the two methods of using notepad file v uninstalling the update?  Will the notepad fix possibly cause issues elsewhere - any benefits lost by bypassing windows ink in favour of wintab? ... View more

had this issue yesterday with both my huion tablets, sadly thought it was an issue with windows ink and decided to reformat my pc.  Found the notepad fix from another thread when it still occurred, can Adobe push this problem through to Microsoft please?  Feels like I'm getting nothing but issues at the moment from both adobe and Microsoft updates. ...

yup, just encountered yet another strange bug in a single psd, havent reported because I've no idea how it could be replicated. Cant duplicate a group!  Can duplicate layers fine, but groups no, all in this one psd.  Neither via the layers pallete or through Ctrl-J  Opened a fresh PSD and works fine. ... View more

davescm  wrote As at happens the system info we were gathering would not have spotted the problem in this case. As Adam from Adobe said earlier - the key difference was a display over 1080 px height. I fully understand the frustrations and annoyance - I've been there at times also where I have an issue and others don't. It just sometimes helps if we can all take a step back and try and spot the difference between systems that we can then take to the Adobe guys for a quicker fix. Dave Agree, but seriously I think Adobe get off pretty lightly with the amounts of rants I've seen.  Being helpful of course is needed, but feels like Adobe are pretty much relying on the cheap(free) labour of their userbase to report and fix pretty crucial bugs.  I nearly didn't even bother reporting this and left it for others, because I know an official fix will be days/weeks away.  With the sub model, these hotfixes should be rolled out within hours or days, but they're always delayed to a .1 release. If the software cannot support such hotfixes without a complete redownload and reinstall then they should ensure that the crucial functions people rely on daily are working correctly before a release. This as it happens is a minor annoyance to me this time, but know what it will be like for others.  Only a couple of versions ago, they completed borked the hotkey functionality of the alt key and this was released - how this can get beyond any sort of QA is beyond me. ...

davescm  wrote Tanja2014   wrote no it´s an adobe issue as usual. So far - the only users to give system details are two who are not seeing the problem. If you are serious about getting to the bottom of the issue then please share some details so we can see if we spot a pattern that can narrow down the issue. If you only want to rant - then fine.. Dave not quite true, I posted my system specs and adobe versions early on in the post, but point taken.  You've got to appreciate people's frustrations are down to the bugs that have been present in the last 3+ major updates to Photoshop.  A lot of people work freelance, and the bugs, and reporting + following things up is costing everyone a lot of time & money, not to mention the pressure of deadlines from clients.  It's not like the bugs have been niche, they've been on core components that have been tried & tested for years.  When people see the updates with like 1 semi decent feature + 20 fluff features (stock, tooltips, welcome screens being forced upon them, it really doesnt help either).  Also the fact that hotfixes are always at least a month away, and rarely seem to be tested properly.  I have copies of pretty complex software such as Spine & 3DCoat, they push updates constantly have much smaller teams than Adobe have at their disposal ...

yeah agreed it has become a joke, photoshop was already bloated, and rather than spend time ensuring vital components work, they seem to spend it adding pointless tooltips and more ads/links to buy stock assets.  Adobe are so used to having a monopoly on the creative side they have badly let their loyal users down.  The alternatives are gaining ground and I'm readying myself to switch completely right now ...

davescm​ also tried here, and does not fix either, only opening & closing preferences for camera raw filter on start with no file open allows me to use it for that session ... View more

ok narrowed this down I think.  I restarted Photoshop after it was working, opened the same file and tried directly opening camera raw filter again with ctrl shift a on a layer - same happens with selecting via the filter menus - the error was back.  Also then going to preferences > camera raw filter would produce the error... however restarted again, and before opening the file went to preferences > camera raw filter, dialog opens, closed it, opened the file again and works ...

ok strange, its now working... (for now) All I did was go into preferences > camera raw filter, changed no settings, closed it and now its working? ... View more

I have the same problem.  Every version of CC since 2016 for me has been more and more unstable.  After updating I now have both this as a constant crash - and also a welcome screen that disappears every nth time I open photoshop - this also stops the workspaces from opening.  Paranoid that it was an issue with my PC I have actually just spent all day today reformatting my system with a fresh install but the errors still occur.  Hugely disappointing.  Seriously considering cancelling my CC subscription and moving to alternatives right now ...

This really should be fixed by now.  I understand 2018 was a fairly substantial update, but I also don't buy the response above from David about workflows.  Sure if it's an obscure command that is occasionally used but the alt key is used considerably by the default keyboard shortcuts and the majority are now broken.  Workarounds are not ideal because you are retraining muscle memory that when fixed will have to revert back.  Many simply don't have time to revert to previous versions reinstall settings layouts etc (since the sync feature was taken away as well, can take a while depending on how much customization has been made). Hotfixes for vital issues like this should be sooner,  (if games can be launched then patched on day 1 or 2 why can't the CC suite?) I pay over £600 per year for the suite, CC is not cheap and your community of customers are losing time and revenue by working with broken software.  May seem pedantic but seconds over a day become minutes and hours over weeks/months. There was a time when Adobe didn't have much competition for this field but that has changed.  I can already see myself working away from the program to competitors such as Affinity/Sketchbook/Pro Create etc.  This debacle is only going to push other customers in the same direction. Whilst I had no issues with CC as a premise, Adobe still seems to have the same monopolistic  attitude that end users will have to put up with these problems.  Sorry but they won't. If it's not fixed within the week I'll be sending an official complaint, and requesting compensation (as many other decent companies offer when these things arise). ... View more

and another here!  Guessing this is an issue for all.  Please fix this urgently!  If you're going to push major updates out without basic testing like this, really should be hotfixes for issues like this a lot sooner (and more often!) ... View more
