After updating 24.5, the Adjustments panel automatically changed to a new mode after restartup.
For me, these functions are not useful,I want to switch back to the legacy style.
How to do it?

---update---

Since there is no restoration option until 24.6, I found someone on the Internet who shared the manual restoration method.
If you want to restore and never want to use the new adjustments panel again,
just delete or move this folder to other place :Adobe Photoshop 2023\Required\UXP\com.adobe.photoshop.adjustments-panel

I do not understand such a simple thing, why the development team refused to provide.

I strongly agree with your opinion. Can we call it an evolution of the UI to let fixed presets, which users cannot create or adjust, occupy the top of the panel? This is an extremely ugly design. If they want to implement presets, they should incorporate them into the existing help system, or isolate them as color correction presets in a panel. I really think this is an ugly design.

Cannot agree more. They keep "fixing" things. The adjustment panel has looked the same as long as I've used it (so nearly 20 years).

It gets in the way and I have no use for it now it's been added to a panel I use every day and I cant remove it?

Just untick Adjustments under the Window Menu.

I'm sorry you've clearly misunderstood but thanks for your response.

I do not see anywhere Legacy style. Probably the only way is to roll back to previous version.

By the way, what is sooo anoying? Perhaps because adjustments are presented as list by default? You can click on switcher in the top rifgt corner to display adjustments as icons as they used to be. Above collapsed Adjustments presets are not that destructive and anoying in my opinion.

It's just that some of us try to keep open panels compact and economic. Even if it's just a collapsed section, it's wasted space, and it's distracting.

I agree fully with the OP. I think a moderator should move this to "ideas" so that we can vote on it.

We did manage to get rid of the blue "share" button, right? I think this is just as distracting in its own way.

The major issue for me now, having gone through the start-up and new documents a few times as per my workflow (with some work, saves, PC restarts in between to make sure), is that the new feature resets other panels, completely resizes the panels that remain open and even completely collapses other panels, namely layers and paths. I have to essentially manually adjust my workspace again for each session. Of course, it's not "destructive" but it certainly disrupts my workflow.
