P: This Face Expression File is bad or corrupted

[stevew51667700]

I keep gettting the following error when I launch Photoshop 2020 on a Windows 10 64bit machine

This Face Expression File is bad or corrupted

I assume it relates to the Default Face Expression Presets.p3f file, which a scan reveals to be OK. The application launches after I click OK but how can I get rid of the error?

I have reinstalled, tried the clean up tool and there has even been an update since it started but still it persists. Is there anywhere I can find a replacement file?

Thanks in advance

Steve

None of these work for me.  I do not have Go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe this file nor is there anything in my adobe photoshop 2020 folder.

Sadly i couldn't find any file named "face" in above mentioned destination, But i was able to find the same file in "\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2024\Adobe Photoshop 2024 Settings", i renamed it as above mentioned and the problem / error message is gone

The file recreates itself on relaunch, so no harm done!
