I have my own workspace and it doesn't save after exit the Photoshop 2026. Why? 

I tried to re-install my workcpaces, delited and creating new one - All of my workspaces doesn't save! Thanks' Adobe! You can take all of my money! Maybe you'll fix it.

it kept happening to me as well. I Found the Folder "Adobe Photoshop 2026 Settings" hidden in User>Library>Preferences. (Use Command-Shift-Period to reveal hidden folders.) There are 2 Workspace Folders present "Workspaces" and "Workspaces(Modified)". I don't know wht. I checked the modification dates and deleted the newest one of my custom workspace and replaced it with the other. It worked once I restarted Photoshop. But it's only temporary as I did the same thing 2 weeks ago. So, this really needs a permanent fix.

"Could not apply the saved panel configuration, resetting to default." on Launch.

Just this morning I started having this problem on my Mac with the most current PS and Beta versions. Tried resetting the preferences and remaking my Workspace. I'm able to reset my default workspace once PS finishes launching.

It didn't work. Even re-save workspace doesn't work in 27.2 version.
