Yes, I found the attached image in the online Photoshop User Guide, that shows what the Preferences > General panel is supposed to look like, from February 2021:

Every time I start Photoshop, I get a dialog box that says, "Automatic Preset Syncing" with instructions to go to Preferences > General to turn on this feature. I click the "Got it" button, and next time I open Photoshop, I get the same notice. Today, I finally decided to go to Preferences and turn this on, and there is no such option in Preferences > General. I am running Photosop 22.3.1. See attached images. I searched the forums and found a post from 2017 (!) saying this feature was removed. At the same time this notice started appearing, I also started having an issue with Photoshop taking upwards of 5 minutes to launch, getting hung up on the Halide Bottlenecks plug-in. I am running Big Sur 11.2.3, yet all the fixes for the Halide Bottlenecks issue I've seen talk about upgrading to 11.2.1 to fix the issue, so apparently something has brought it back. I've already uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop, which seemed to fix the issue for a day or two, but then it came back. Over the years, I have made many changes to my Photoshop preferences, so I would hate to start from scratch, but I suspect this is a prefs issue... Does anyone have any other ideas before I rip the bandage off and click on Reset Preferences on Quit?

Thanks everyone who contributed to this thread. I am using a 15" Macbook Pro with Retina display, connected to a 27" Thunderbolt display. For me, aligning the displays in Preferences so the tops of the displays are aligned seems to have fixed the problem. So, it must be something to do with the resolutions, display size, etc. (Both displays are set to "Default for display.")

That's interesting Alex. I've been meaning to post here that I haven't seen the problem since CS6, but if it does return, now I know one way to fix it.

Anna, your experience summarizes exactly what I've been experiencing.The behavior has started despite major changes to my system. However, I doubt the hard drive is damaged or dying, because a) it would affect more than Photoshop, and b) other people would report hard drives dying in this thread. On the other hand, a busy HD does back up what Chris has been claiming on this thread: That some other program is overwriting the PS files. I tried intentionally re-creating the error this week, but have been unable to do so. If I can make time to try again, I will post results on this thread.

Just want to chime in that I too have been having this problem. I am using CS5.5 on OS X Lion 10.7.3. I started noticing the problem since installing Lion, so it's been about a year, and I finally looked it up and found this thread. Sometimes, I open a file, make one small change, save it, and get the error. Other times, it happens to files I have been working on for a longer time. Sometimes, when I am working, it happens every time I save as I work. Until reading this thread, I thought the issue was purely Lion-related. (Time Machine local backups also seem to be chewing up disk space, and I suspect there is a connection.) However, I see here that many people are having the problem on earlier versions of CS as well as OS X. I do not use Suitcase or Fusion. I do use Topaz plug-ins. I did change my scratch disk preferences a while back, and also suspect it could be something to do with that. The problem occurs when Bridge is open, and also when it isn't. My system is old and full of crud. I haven't done a clean install for years, thought I do try and clean it up from time to time. So... not very helpful, I know, but another voice saying, "Hey, there may be more of us than you think!"
