Hey folks! 

I was working with photoshop and illustrator, then I went to lunch and closed both apps. 
When booting them up again, Photoshop "home screen" is black. I can't open recent files. 

When I open a saved .psd, the file opens correctly.

 

Already updated to the 25.5.1 version.

Hi there,

I dont know what is happening here, suddenly every time I start up photoshop on its own I get this blank photoshop window frame on the startup (see screenshot)

If however I open a picture from Bridge its okay, photoshop shows fine.

What is going on here and how to bring it back to the old. I have the last version of Photoshop and Bridge and MacOS.

Is there an issue with Photoshop Home Screen? 
Both my girlfriend's and mine have gone blank. Neither of us changed any settings.  We have tired disabled the Home Screen option and re-enabled the show Home Screen button in settings.
This didn't fix the issue at all.

Thank you greatly, @Sameer K

 

It worked! The only part I did not understand was: "Hold down the Option key & click on the 'GO' menu from the top & select Library.

 

But, I read in one of your comment replys to clear all the folders in CCX and not just Photoshop. It totally worked! Thank you greatly again, @Sameer K!

Instalei recentemente um plug-in autorizado da Adobe no programa Photoshop, porém ao reiniciar o programa, a interface está cinza, não esta o mesmo de antes. Já realizei a desinstalação do programa e reinstalação, assim como o reiniciamento do PC, porém de nada resolveu, teitei contato com a Adobe mas não obtive retorno. (o que funcionou foi eu pegar uma versão antiga, ai sim obtive sucesso, mas, como dito, uma versão desatualizada).

Aguardo retorno.

Hey, @Why_ATL

 

You're in the correct folder; instead of just Photoshop, empty all the contents of the CCX folder. 

Thanks!

I've spent my morning trying to open Photoshop, I have optimized my mac's storage and updated my mac itself. Restarted it, I have set the settings on Photoshop to open homescreen automatically and do not have any updates for Photoshop. No matter what I've tried, Photoshop opens like this, maybe I'm missing something.
