Adjustment Panel - Unable to keep docked or access

Question

When I open Photoshop (Version 27.7) , the Adjustments panel disappears from my workspace’s docked panels. Also, when I try to open the panel from Window > Adjustments, nothing happens. The panel does not open, and no check mark appears next to Adjustments in the Window menu to indicate that it is active.

The Adjustments panel reappears when I reset the Essentials Workspace, but the Adjustment Panel disappears again after I close and reopen Photoshop. Currently, the only way to restore the Adjustments panel is to reset the Essentials Workspace each and every time I launch Photoshop.

This is not a great workaround because it requires re-customization of my workspace every time I open Photoshop. Could someone please help me resolve this issue?

Hi ​@CosmoDog,Thanks for reporting this. Could you first update to Photoshop 27.8, which was released today, and check whether the issue still occurs?• Open the Creative Cloud Desktop app• Click Check for Updates• Install Photoshop 27.8 if availableIf the issue persists after updating, could you please share a short screen recording showing the Photoshop launch, the missing Adjustments panel, and Window > Adjustments not responding? Resetting Essentials, bringing it back.Also, a couple of questions:• Are you using multiple monitors? If you are using a laptop/MacBook, can you unplug the monitor and check?• If yes, does moving Photoshop back to the primary/main display make any difference?• Have you ever had the Adjustments panel docked on a secondary monitor?If updating to 27.8 doesn’t help, the screen recording will help us determine whether we’re dealing with.Best,Anshul Saini
