Photoshop Ver 27.6 is giving me this error saying it cannot load measurement scale presets on new files.

Photoshop Ver 27.6 is giving me this error saying it cannot load measurment scale presets. I can open old files but if I save them or make a new copy I cannot open them again. How do I fix this?

    Hey, @HeroMackzZ. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I am sorry for the delay in getting to your post. I'll help you figure this out. Please share the system information from Photoshop Help > System Info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here. 


    We have seen the same error, and a bug was fixed:n https://adobe.ly/4dn45dG


    Have you recently also updated Windows or any other drivers? go to the location of the preference folder below and rename it to backup.

    • Windows 10/11: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings

    • You can press Press the Windows key > Enter 'Run' > Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe

    • Rename the Adobe Photoshop folder by adding a .old at the end. (Adobe Photoshop 2026 > Rename > Adobe Photoshop 2026. old), You can restore these preferences later if you need to.(https://adobe.ly/4860qM9)

    • Restart the computer.


    These changes will give Photoshop a fresh start as a new install. Let me know how it goes.

    Thanks!
