Why is a .jpg being saved next the .psd I am saving and how to change it?

Question

using Adobe Photoshop CC, it is saving a .jpg whenever I save a file as .psd

How do I either:

1) suppress this feature
or

2) improve the quality of the .jpg being saved. currently compression is high and quality low.

Thank you.

Could you please try this :-To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

HiSahil.Chawla​, yes. I am simply wanting to "save as..." .psd like I have been doing since 2.5, but now, its also saving a .jpg WITH the .psd in the same folder. I either want to stop doing this extra .jpg save, OR able to change it to have the highest quality save if I can't turn it off. Its useless to use for the web and extraneous as an extra file, currently.I hope that makes sense.thank you
