P: Panels disappearing and other bugs

Whenever I create an adjustment layer it makes the Layers panel disappear (as well as the properties panel witch should open automatically). They only come back if I restart or, weirdly, if I resize the Photoshop window. When I try to switch between multiple open images, they do not display (just the ghost of the original image). This can again be fixed by resizing the window. These aren't fatal flaws but they SERIOUSLY slow down my workflow, so I'd like some answers if possible. Everything is updated to the newest version.
