Can't "Copy SVG" Layers in Photoshop Anymore - Help!

[Pham-Vu]

Hey there, can you help me out?

Normally, I can use the "Copy SVG" feature in Photoshop on any layer and paste it directly into Figma or Illustrator. But ever since I got a new PC and reinstalled Photoshop, I can't copy layers anymore. 

I can still copy SVG from shapes and vectors within Photoshop, but with regular layers, I get this error. When I checked the code, it looks like this: ...
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="827px" height="645px"> <image x="0px" y="0px" width="827px" height="645px" xlink:href="data:img/png;base64," /> </svg>

I'm wondering if I'm missing something or if Photoshop changed something in a recent update. It's super inconvenient. I have another laptop that still works fine with the "Copy SVG" feature, so I don't know why it's not working on my PC. I know there are other ways, like exporting the file, but I really prefer the copy-and-paste feature because it's so much more convenient.

I'm using Windows 11 and the latest version of Photoshop. Can anyone help me with this?

@Pham-Vu The "Copy SVG" feature was never intended for non-vector layers. It's designed to translate vector data (like shapes, text, or paths) into SVG code, which is a scalable vector format. When you try to use it on a regular layer containing pixels, Photoshop attempts to convert the pixel data into a base64-encoded image and embed it within the SVG file. The reason it works on your old laptop is likely because it's running a slightly older version of Photoshop that doesn't have this specific bug, or it's a version with different internal configurations. Unfortunately, there is no simple setting you can change to fix this on your new PC. Unless, you go back a version or two.
