Question

Getting the "Could not Complete Your Request Due to Program Error"

I’m trying to use the “Remove Tool” in Photoshop, but keep getting the “could not complete your request due to program error”. I’ve double checked that everything has been updated, signed out and back into my adobe account, deactivated GPU acceleration, reset photoshp preferences, etc.It keeps happening. One time I also got the “can not use this tool because activation failed”

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There are a lot of people having problems with the Remove Tool, even when “more stable” and “No AI” are selected. I’ve been having these problems (freezing mainly) for over a year now.

    @Aaah-Doh!-be 

    Have you posted your Help > System Info from Photoshop? Either way, do it again. There’s something out of the ordinary here. I’ve been testing out the Remove Tool extensively this morning, and I’m not having any problems whatsoever with it.

     

    Yes, it uses a lot of memory, but it peaks at 90% and stays there. That’s entirely normal and does not cause any performance issues. Any heavy PS activity will do that. It does not use GPU VRAM to any extent.

     

    We have seen a few memory leak issues (both system RAM and VRAM) lately. Most of the users who came back, reported that it was resolved with a complete reset of preferences. That means moving the entire “Adobe Photoshop 2026 Settings” folder to your desktop so a new one can be rebuilt. This returns the application to fresh, out-of-the-box factory state.

     

    Preferences can get corrupted because they are rewritten on every application exit, as opposed to read-only program files. This folder contains a lot more than your own user settings; it’s the complete application configuration, including hidden and system-dependent parameters.
