Preferences > General > DEACTIVATE “auto show the Home screen” has no effect (it ALWAYS shows the home screen even if I don't want it to) until I do, from the home screen, something like ask Help > photoshop help ... then finally, from then on, even in subsequent Photoshop openings, the choice of options is finally honored; but this is a workaround, because there is a problem with options flagged/unflagged.

This is after the updates, both with standard Photoshop and with the BETA version.

Hey, @contributor129038. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out.

Before anything else, please try these steps: Go to the location of the preference folder below and rename it to backup.

Windows 10/11: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings
You can press Press the Windows key > Enter 'Run' > Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe
Rename the Adobe Photoshop folder by adding a .old at the end. (Adobe Photoshop 2025 > Rename > Adobe Photoshop 2025. old), You can restore these preferences later if you need to.(https://adobe.ly/4860qM9)
Restart the computer.

These changes will give a fresh start to Photoshop as a fresh install.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Sameer K
