"There is a problem with Generator.." error when starting Adobe Photoshop CC 2018

[torgeirr66145187]

Hi

I have searched Adobe support sites and tried every solution possible (I think).  Stil got the error message during startup, when I try to export (Both Export As.. and Quick export as PNG/JPG). Uninstalled photoshop, rebooted, reinstalled photoshop, deleted all my plug-ins  (Only from One.com) deleted preferences, resett photoshop  (Ctrl+Alt+Shift during start) and so on.

Now I need som help to get this issue solved.  Can someone please help me?

This shows how to exclude the file node.exe in malwarebytes.

Had the same problem and no idea how to resolve it... I called adobe technical support and they fixed it (shared screen). Malwarebytes was indeed interfering. Seems to be a common problem lately.

I created an account just to thank you 🙂
by the way, this ONLY HAPPENS AFTER A DISK CLONE!

a clean windows install won't have such issues. one more problem with cloning ...

Perfect solved my problem

Thank you for this!

Just FYI for anyone reading this, I've filed feedback with Windows as I ran into this issue because Windows migrated my user account due to some file locks it couldn't get rid of.  When that happens the registry key above can be left in a bad state.

It doesn't solve the problem.

I used the CC Cleaner tool to uninstall Photoshop entirely.

I have tried all of the solutions online but this is the only tool that solved the problem:

Thank you very much for the fix.

The solution that worked for me:

Open Photoshop

Edit => Preferences => Plug-ins

Uncheck "Enable Generator" then click OK

Restart Photoshop

Et voilà 🙂
