Brightness Contrast Broken after Photoshop 2025 update.

Question

Did Adobe break something in Photoshop 2025? I updated it a couple days ago and now the Brightness and Contrast settings won't preview in the box. The effects will work on an image but I can't tell what I'm doing without the preview sliders. Already wiped preferences and reset them- same problem. I normally have the graphics processor turned off on this machine- have to turn it back on for this function to work correctly and this is not ideal.

I use 2025 on this particular workstation for reasons, I know a newer Photoshop is available.

In photoshop 2025 go to Edit>Preferences>Technology Previews, uncheck Enable Modern User Interface, restart Photoshop and see if that makes any difference.

Hello. Thanks! That seems to  have fixed it. I had went through the preferences earlier but didn't think to change that checkbox at all. Now to work until the next wonky issue, lol.
