    After spending hours on the phone with Adobe trying to get my  Save for the Web feature working I finally found the answer.  It was a problem with Windows Defender.  I have to go to Windows Security/Virus & Threat Protection/Virus & Threat Protection Settings/Controlled Folder Access.  Click on Manage Controlled Folder Access.  From here you can add the application you want to allow through or just turn off the controlled access.  This also fixed my Lightroom error message regarding not being able to find the catalog.  I hope this helps someone.

      So some-one else has to read the book, or in this case the other thread,  for you ?

      If you check out the link that Ged gave you the issue is likely to be a stored path which no longer exists on your system. If you dont want to carry out the steps given in that thread then try a simple Preference Reset.

      Preferences>General>Reset Preferences on quit and then close and restart Photoshop. That restores both user preferences and Photoshops own internal prference files back to default.
