"The system cannot find the path specified" error in Photoshop

Error

"There is a problem with Generator" This error msg may show while starting photohop or while trying to export file to save for web. When trying to save for web, it shows it may show error like “the operation could not be completed. The system cannot find the path specified.”

 

Solution

This can be due to various reasons. One reason can be your antivirus blocking saving the file. If that is the case follow below steps to solve this error.

 

·         Go to Windows Security.

·         Virus & Threat Protection.

·         Click “Manage settings” under virus and threat protection.

·         Click “manage controlled folder access” under controlled folder access.

·         Disable this or click “allow an app through controlled folder access”

·         Add an allowed app

·         Select "Adobe Photoshope.exe" and the "node.exe".

 

My issue started after I removed one of my hard disc. I followed steps below which solved this issue for me.

 

·         Exit Photoshop

·         Go to the start menu on Windows and type regedit. Then...

·         Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

·         When there, on the right-side Window under "Name" you will see a line for "Personal"

·         On the right of that is "Data" and next to "Personal" mine was pointing to an old drive I had removed.

·         It said something like "P:\Documents"

·         Right-click on "Personal" and select "Modify" and instead, type in "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" (without the quotes)

·         Click OK and exit Regedit. Restart Photoshop.
