Photoshop can not open a JPEG but somehow Microsoft Paint can

I received a lot of pictures that I want to edit on Photoshop. When I attempt to open them in Photoshop,The following pops up:
"Could not complete your request because an unvalid SOS, DHT, DQT, or EQI JPEG marker is found before a JPEG SQ1 marker."
I found a solution which is to open the file in Microsoft Paint, and save them under the same name, which rewrites the file. Now Photoshop can open the file. This is a lot of work to do for every image.
How do I fix this? I can't believe that MS Paint can do it, but Photoshop can't.

Something strange there. Tried Import instead of Open? (if PS has that?) It may not, GIMP doesn't... Maybe it's a PS jpeg bug?

Those JPEGs are most likely corrupt. However, some programs are able to parse files even though they might be slightly corrupt. Looks like Microsoft Paint is one such program.

As I wrote earlier, some programs are still able to parse slightly corrupted media files. One solution that comes to mind is to use image processing software like Image Magick to batch convert all JPEGs to PNGs. That wouldn't result in loss of quality as PNG is lossless.

Sounds like you have a file extension that doesn't match the actual file type.
For example, if you take a PNG image file, change the file extension to .jpg and try to open in Photoshop, you'll get a message something like:
"Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found"
Try opening a file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad). JPEGs should start with the charactersÿØÿá, PNGs with ‰PNG and GIFs with GIF87a or GIF89a.
If this is the case for you, try renaming with the correct file extension.
