Error code 205 - PHOTOSHOP

[Mário Peneck]

Hello,

Is there anybody else with this kind of error, CODE 205 in PHOTOSHOP?...

It came from nothing, just happened. I can't work right now. What should I do?

I've uninstall and update to the latest version, but the problem remains.

@hindy07 have you tried signing out and back in to your Creative Cloud desktop app?

it don't worked for me it says "element unfindable" in every cmdkey.

Example :

C:\Users\djbon>cmdkey /delete : LegacyGeneric:target=Adobe App Info (TWVkaWFFbmNvZGVyMXt9MjAxODA3MjAwMQ)(Part3)

CMDKEY: Élément introuvable.

Have you find a solution? I am having the exact same issue.

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

@matteo_kazz see the noted solution above.

[matteo_kazz]

I tried, it didn't work. I sign in and out and launch, i delete files in roaming files, i delete everything and install again it didn't work. Also i did the adobe creative cloud cleaner it didn't work. Is there other solution ?

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

How much RAM and HD space do you have?

[matteo_kazz]

I have 32gb of ram and 50gb on hard drive plus other drive disk. Photoshop was working fine a week ago on beta build but i change my account for my studen account which has all the licences. I think it come from my computer because it's working fine on my brother's laptop

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Are you installing on your main HD or the "other drive disk"? 50 GB is not a lot of room to download and install. 100 GB is the recommended.

[matteo_kazz]

okay tomorrow i am gonna try that. Thanks i keep you informed.

[matteo_kazz]

What didn't "work" – please explain.

[matteo_kazz]

I have the latest photoshop build not the beta one and i am on windows 10. I have 32gb of ram and 50gb on c drive and other with lot of empty spaces. And what didn't work was the cmd command to clear credential manager storage i had this kind of response on the cmd window: 

C:\Users\djbon>cmdkey /delete : LegacyGeneric:target=Adobe App Info (TWVkaWFFbmNvZGVyMXt9MjAxODA3MjAwMQ)(Part3)

CMDKEY: Élément introuvable"

same as  renaud98A6. Sorry if i was unclear.
