“Could not complete the Camera Raw Filter command because of a program error”

@Ged_Traynor 

I don't think it's ACR, I think it's Photoshop.

I have PS 25.9 still installed, and everything works properly there. From PS 25.11 up to the current 26.0 it fails and I get the error message.

They both use the same ACR (currently17.0, haven't updated to 17.0.1).

You can download and install ACR version 17.0 from here, the installation should over right the current version

I think it has to do with that window popping up offering some sort of discounted subscription. I didn't screenshot it and I forgot exactly what it is, but I think that is causing the issue. I already made it disappear by check marking the box saying "Don't show for 7 days" so it doesn't pop up anymore.

That won't even work. Edit >> Preferences >> Camera RAW, it also throws an error.

Happened to me too. Can't even reset Camera RAW. Did a reinstall, Camera RAW worked once, and then started throwing the same errors again. After I posted here and tried to chat with support, it started working again...

Note to moderators - I'm not quite sure how to handle all these new threads coming up. Since I'm not a moderator, I can't merge them directly; instead I have to do a lot of cross-referencing and linking back and forth. That quickly becomes a mess to navigate. If anyone feels the need to clean up this "master thread", feel free to delete my posts.
