P: Filter Gallery error - "The end of data was reached while reading from a container."

[RETROHILLS]

I've tried looking online for solutions but nothing has helped. After clicking on "Filter Gallery" the error states, 

"The end of data was reached while reading from a container."

I just finished restarting my computer, reinstalling photoshop, and even updated my iMac. The error appears in every file I open

Here are my specs,

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)

3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5

8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

Radeon Pro 570X 4 GB

I am getting the same error.  I was running a set of batched actions that included the filter gallery action.  After about 80 files processed, my Windows 10 machine blue-screened. Now whenever I try to manually (or via batch) open the "filter gallery", I get the "The end of data was reached while reading from a container" message.  I have uninstalled & reinstalled Photoshop, still getting the error.

1. Quit Photoshop.

2. Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2023 Settings/Filter Gallery Prefs.psp and delete Filter Gallery Prefs.psp

Start Photoshop. Does the error go away?

You may need to use this method to see the hidden user library directory: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html

And for good measure, try deleting both the "Effect Prefs.psp" and "Filter Gallery Prefs.psp" files found in that preferences directory.

/Users/MyUserName/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 202X Settings/

Note that you'll need to substitute the correct year for your particular version of Photoshop in the above file path.
