Photoshop Javascript code missing

[Xuanx]

For the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that this popup has been appearing every time I close my photoshop. Sometimes when I open it, they tell me that my preset isn't synced or something, so I should restart it to sync it.
I thought nothing of it, but I think it might be linked to another bug.
I use File>Image processor>JPEG a lot for my work. Pretty much every other day, but suddenly I started receiving missing Javascript code error. I've attached the screenshot to the post as well. Is there any fix to it? I have been working around it by restarting my computer every time I need to use it, but it's really getting tedious. If there's a fix, I'd love to hear it out, so I don't have to keep restarting my computer for it. The same thing appears on every other "Scripts" option in Photoshop.

A side note, sometimes restarting works, but it doesn't at times. I don't know what's causing it, or what's solving it. I did try to re-install it, but it's still there.

Sounds like a permissions issue. Try creating a new Admin user account and run Photoshop from the new user account to see if the problem goes away: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/basic-troubleshooting.html#permissions

Hi jeffrey, thank you for replying to this! I've tried it out, but it didn't work, unfortunately...

Have you tried to restart the computer? https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/photoshop-cc-2020-errors-javascript-c...

You may need to do a reinstall, at least based on this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/javascript-code-was-missing/td-p/1066...

This thread pointed to permissions: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/message-quot-javascript-code-was-miss... (which a new Admin user account should have fixed)

Other culprits are 3rd party scripts/plugins:

Lastly, naming drives with reserved words for the OS can also cause this. Things like naming a drive "Documents" "Photos" "Library" etc
