Photoshop randomly creates duplicate of file when using "save" command (cmd+s)

Hi all, Macbook Pro, Sequoia 15.6, Adobe Photoshop 2025 user here.

Recently I've been experiencing some issues regarding the save feature for files. The issue is that photoshop sometimes makes a duplicate or copy of the psd file I'm currently working on when I use the "save" command, with the cmd+s keyboard shortcut. When I "save", it should save my progress to the current file, but it occasionally saves as a new file without me prompting the "save as" command, which results in me having one or more copies of the same file, at different stages of progress of my work and it has been bothersome. No dialogue box is prompted when the duplicate happens, and I just find a copy of my file appear on my desktop after I use the cmd+s command when attempting to save progress. There should be no hardware issues because I got my new laptop just a week ago. I have tried to observe this issue and there seems to be no pattern regarding what triggers a duplicate happening. It doesn't happen every time I use the "save" command, but it occurs once every now and then. So as I am working on a psd file, I use the "save" command regularly to save my progress, and every something saves after, one in a while the duplicate happens. 

I can open both the original psd file as well as the duplicate that was made randomly, but the newest changes in progress to my work (after the save) isn't saved to my current file, but the new duplicate. And then I have to pick between working from the duplicate as it has my newest progress saved, or redraw/redo my work in the original file and hope that the next time I use cmd+s it won't create a new copy. 

I would be grateful if this issue could be resolved. Thank you very much.
