After running through their procedure a couple of times it became apparent that Microsoft has redesigned the UI for the Credential Manager and they now differentiate between Web Credentials and Windows Credentials. The appropriate credentials are located in the Windows Credentials. Further, it appears that the credentials renew in real-time when removed (that or there are just a ton of adobe credentials to be removed) Either way, I removed any adobe credential that was older than today. Followed with a reboot and the problem resolved.  For the record, the initial support response regarding the download errors and potential anti-virus software interference has zero to do with the technical cause of the error. Code 205 is specific to credential problems. Support needs to correct the online response to the Code 205 search results. Crap information like that leads to a major frustration for the user.

thanks Trevor, it is indeed a credential issue but Adobe's search results steer you off in the wrong direction. See my reply above.

Did you contact Custormer Support?

Hi @ᅵ249278018c5n, try logging out and then back in through your CC app. Did this solved the issue?

Thank you,

I just resolved this problem by simply completely uninstalling Photoshop 2022 and reinstalling it.  It was impossible to find Adobe support.  I just uninstalled and reinstalled it.  Photoshop got a major upgrade once reinstalled.  This is probably related to the issue.  I used to work in the software industry and this was common after updates.  Kevy

Thomas, did the post marked "correct" answer your question?

[KevyMichaels]

Yes for Photoshop error 205

[jane-e]

Are @thomasq48929585  (who asked the question) and @KevyMichaels the same user with different Adobe IDs?

Should we wait for Thomas to confirm the answer before marking it correct?

Merci c'est parfait 👌

Hello,

yes that worked; I seem to remember, that I didn't even have to restart the system - just signed out and then logged in again - but perhaps Iforgot that I also did a restart.

In any case it worked well and only happened that first time after the update concerned.

Thank You

Thank you for your help Cory !

I've followed all of the advice given in this thread but still get the 205 error when I try to launch Photoshop. Unbelievable that Adobe takes our subscriptions, breaks something on most updates, and then depends on the (greatly appreciated) kindness of unpaid volunteers to provide support.

However, as they do, does anyone have any further suggestions?

Many thanks,

Jem

I did all OS updates on my desktop, uninstalled, PS, then reinstalled.

The error went away.

This need is typical with software updates. I tried this as a go-to while
waiting on a support solution. It worked.

Merci  ca marche et c'est cool.

WOW, I was truly loosing myself over this and had some many trial and errors! Its definetly a Windows 11 problem, after photoshop update. I managed to fix this by creating a certificate based credential for adobe in the credential manager on windows. - CONTROL PANEL > CREDENTIAL MANAGER > WINDOWS CREDENTIALS > ADD A CERTIFICATE BASED CREDENTIAL > AND THEN ADD ADOBE.COM 

this solved the problem for me. hope it helps thanx @dgramkow for the feedback

Hi all,

We're sorry for the error 205. We have identified this issue and working on the fix. In the meanwhile, you can sign out and sign in from the Creative Cloud Desktop app to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Mohit

As one who has, on more than one occasion (and at least once in this thread), criticised Adobe for relying on the community to support its products, I feel I need to publicly eat my words.
Having tried all of the suggestions here, and still being unable to run Photoshop, I used the support chat service. I was connected quickly to an operative who ran a remote credentials clean-up and fixed the problem within a few minutes. My advice, if you're still experiencing this problem, is to use the support chat service. On this occasion it most certainly did the job for me.

Logging out and back in does not work. The only thing that works is to create a new user on the mac which is not a realistic option. All other Apps work fine. It's specific to Photoshop.

[JemShaw]

Hi,
Having fought this fault, I feel your pain! There is an answer that works, which is to contact Adobe's much criticised support. I did so, expecting the vacuous, formulaic answers you get from most company's support staff, only to get through almost immediately to a knowledgeable, helpful guy who ran a remote fix and restored my Photoshop to functionality and my opinion of Adobe to... well, certainly better than it was.

Give the support chat a whirl - I hope it goes as well for you as it did for me.

[Crossmark-Prepress]

The online chat is nothing more than a bot that takes you for a useless ride. Not sure how you actually were helped. Could you explaine what they did to fix it?
