Default to image search?

HI there. I'm hoping this is not a dumb question. For the past little while, whenever I search for something on Adobe Stock, it defaults to a video search. It wasn't like that before. I'm a print designer; I do nothing with video, and clicking off of video to image is just another unnecessary step I have to take several times a day. Is there a way in preferences to specify that, by default, I want to search for images (photos/illustrations/vectors) and NOT video? I don't believe video is even included in my Stock plan. Why make that the default?  Please tell me there's a way to select a default category. It drives me crazier every time I waste an additional two seconds to select the category I need.

I don't know if this matters, but I'm accessing Adobe Stock by clicking the "Creative Cloud" icon on the Windows 10 taskbar. Seems to be the same if I access Stock directly from the browser, though.

    You see the question was not that dumb... My CC app is currently updating, so I will not be able to check this for today... as I need to leave for a sleep. Sorry about that.


    OK, got it...defaults to my default!

    So I suspect cookies!

    Never saw a dumb question here... :-)

    Set your default to images:

    That's the step I'd like to avoid... it resets to video every time I go there.

    And there aren't any preference controls on the Creative Cloud app, which I thought would be a nifty feature as that's my go-to icon for stock. Guess I could just bookmark stock/adobe.com/images and then... gasp... re-train myself...
