I've been having a problem with the ACR module not opening in Photoshop for a while now (Cannot edit original smart object because of program error / Cannot complete Camera Raw filter command because of program error.) both accessed from Adobe Bridge and LR Classic.

All Adobe products and drivers on the system are up to date. I have tried reinstalling ACR with a separate installation package, resetting the program settings, reinstalling Photoshop, but to no avail.

My laptop configuration:

Dell XPS 15 9570

@Petr Mk Warning this will delete the user profile, so before doing the below, backup any documents that you may have in that user profile.

Log into the PC with an administrator account that you're not having the issue with, right click on the start button and select System, on the right in System select Advanced System Settings.

In User Profiles select Settings and select the user profile you're having the issue with and then select Delete.

After that log back in with that account and a new profile will be recreated

Thanks for the reply, but is there really no other option than creating a new profile at the system level? For the second year now I am facing a problem with the ACR program and even after manual installation and all the updates since then, nothing has changed. As a paying member and active user, this is a big problem for me when working with raws on daily basis. Is there really no other solution?

This is my log (Czech language included):

Thank you very much

EDIT:

After creating a new local account in Windows and opening Photoshop, ACR has already started properly.

So, can some help me how to proceed now please? I have latest versions of all Adobe apps.

Thank you so much

Normally @Petr Mk when a new account works, it either means the original account did not have proper permissions set in Windows - like running as an Admin or preferences were corrupted. Try resetting your preferences on teh original account:

Hi, resseting preferences didn't help. Same error message appears

@Kevin Stohlmeyer Hi Kevin, thank you very much for your reply, however, unfortunately this didn't help either.

@TheDigitalDog I forgot to mention in my initial post that I have tried this procedure as well with no results

If turning OFF the GPU works, it's a GPU bug, and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it. This is why disabling GPU is an option as more and more functionality moves to the GPU in newer versions of many Adobe products.

Disable third-party graphics accelerators. Third-party GPU overclocking utilities and haxies aren't supported.
