Fixed: Photoshop creating a debug.log file when you open a PSD File

I just updated my photoshop to the latest version, 21.2.2.289, and I noticed that everytime I open a PSD file. Photoshop creates a debug.log file in the same folder as the PSD file. How do I turn this off?

Good news! Tonight's 21.2.4 update should fix the issue with new debug.log file creation. 
Look for the Photoshop update in the Updates section of the Creative Cloud desktop. For help, see Update Creative Cloud apps

Let us know if the update fixes it for you as well!

Pete

Adobe caught Microsoft's illness. It is amazing how many bugs and fixes are released. Each update fixes an error and creates another one. In fact, Adobe has not been the same for a long time. I think there is a lack of competition. I miss Photoshop 7 that just worked.

Today is August 21 2020.
I'm experiencing the same issue, and have been for a few days now. I keep getting alerts from my cloud storage service about "unresolved issue; unable to sync" regarding this debug log file that is (automatically) created everytime I launch PsCC (version 21.2.2 20200807.r.289 2020/08/07: 287d0d87ec x64), and placed in the same folder of whatever Ps file I open...

What gives?
The debug file in question is devoid of content.

It's strange, but Photoshop stopped creating the debug file when I installed the previous version of the program. Photoshop 20.0.10

Maybe it's worth reporting it as a bug on the Adobe Feedback Forum and add a link to this thread

Since most recent update August 2020 a debug.log appears in the location of the first PSD opened - on the desktop or in a folder.   I'm using Win 10 64 and its Photoshop version  21.2.2 20200807.r.289 2020/08/07: 287d0d87ec x64.  Shouldn't debug files be located in a Photoshop system folder?

My PS started doing the same after the latest update. It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but it may be indicative of a problem with the update. Sometimes the log is empty, sometimes not.
