Hi all,
We are happy to announce the release of Photoshop version 25.2, which incorporates the resolution for this particular problem. To see the list of all fixed issues, click here
Hi, and thanks for the suggestions. No joy. I've done everything in this thread. Still among those who have only the cursor and crashes for the remove tool.
I have the same error, Adobe rep spent two hours remotely changing stettings on my PC, which ended in no change. So if they can't sort it then there is a much bigger problem!!
It occurs on both the most current beta and the most recent stable form and I can't find anything about it anyplace on the web. Have you attempted any of different things I've recorded in my post?
Apparently, a couple of threads with the same problem have been merged together with this one, in case you're wondering why I was linking to my own post inside of this thread. Anyway, has anyone found a solution to this problem yet?
@Manuel25116822d2l5 I have not been able to find a solution so far. None of the suggestions have been successful. My company laptop has the same problem. Adobe has not yet proposed a solution. I hope for an update in a few days. Very annoying.
Thanks. I somehow figured a beta that was this far from being ready for prime time would be outside that process. Naive of me! Of course, it wouldn't be a problem if I could trust it not to crash.
>>Hi @reandn that is your OS settings. Be default your computer will always open the latest version of an installed app.<<
In the Photoshop Beta version, I had the same problem...I unistalled the program (24.6), installed the 24.5 version and now works perfectly, but I get a message to update on the screen which I can not delete. However, in the normal version (not Beta) 24.5, the remove tool still does not work.
Hi @A303265070ve2 Go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply. Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data.

For those getting the program error message when opening the Remove Tool, roll back to version 24.5 on the BETA app. This is the only one with a functioning Remove Tool for me.
Just a tip...Going back from 24.5 to 24.6 the Generative Fill was not working this time, due to Network problems..., although there was no change in my computer configuration. It was solved by allowing the Photoshop Beta (24.6) through Firewall.
I just spoke to an agent , so after an hour of remote control , checking with gpu drivers , different version this and that , they are finally willing to lodge a report . I am not sure if their engineering team even care at this point but I did link them this thread .
version beta 24.5 got remove tool working , remove 24.4 and 24.6 nope ( including the newest 24.7 ) , the main app doesn't work as well
