Question

Where is the Photoshop Effects group?

I need urgent help. I am currently using Illustrator 2021 and I cannot find the blur effect in the Effect tab. The Photoshop Effects group has also disappeared.

Try to reset your preferences from Preferences Panel. May be that can help.

@nak250 you need to tab one over, and it should be under 'Effects' as per your screenshot. The menu is divided into two main categories: "Illustrator Effects" and "Photoshop Effects." The Blur effects, such as Gaussian Blur, are found within the "Photoshop Effects" category. 

I don't have 2021 version, so you may need to refresh your workspace

I don't have Photoshop Effects. That's the problem.

That's the Select menu. Can you show the Effects?
