Whenever I load InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop all my tools are missing. This happens all the time I load the application daily!

Anyone got a fix for this?

Cheers

Since this is the InDesign forum, I'll respond about that application. I'd suggest you start by restoring your InDesign preferences and caches to see if that solves the problem:

It would be helpful to post more about your system: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using.

I am having the same issue, every time starting InDesign, AI or PS.

Did you reset your workspaces?

And hey it wouldn't hurt to press either TAB or Shift-TAB to see what happens to the tool panels and the docked panels.

After restarting a few times and deleting the preferences a few times I think it's working now!

Thanks, both for your help.

Still no luck, everytime I go back into InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator all my tool are hidden?

How do I fix this?

Hi Steve,

The latest version of InDesign 18.0 and Mac OS 13.0.1.

I'll try resetting my preferences and see if that works.

Just tried that and it didn't make any difference? Deleted preferences and restarted and all tool are missing still?
