Eye dropper error: Could not use the eye dropper tool because of a program error

I've encountered this stupid bug since 25.4 stable version. Quickest solution I found so far is to roll back to an older version (I'm currently using 25.3)

Oh my, I still encounter this same error!!! I am using Mac. Is there any solution to this annoying problem?

Same for me, started today. Not beta, stable version 25.4.0, Mac. 

Very annoying bug. 

Very funny that they broke this main feature - both on Mac and Windows 😄

Just started happening to me today! Standard 25.4.0 - Works with beta 25.5
WTH!!!

VERY flipping annoying! Please address this as a matter of urgency Adobe, this is a super basic function that has been working fine for years....

Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71) + PS 25.4

for replication:  select any shape, then try to use dropper tool to select color from screen. The error popup appears and it close the color selection window when click "ok"

Same issue, 25.4.0 "stable" version. Using Mac Sonoma 14.2.1

Chiming in, same issue. Mac, OS 14.2.1 (23C71), PS 25.4.0, has full permissions in OS settings, getting the eyedropper error everyone else is mentioining. 

Same.

Just amazing that we're paying so much for this. Apparently our subscription pays for totally unnecessary bolt-ons like the AI nonsense, but the breakage of basic functionality like this. Desperate to move away from Adobe.
