Buttons at the bottom of the layers panel do not work

I found an old thread from 2020 about this issue, but nothing in there helps me. All the buttons at the bottom of the layer mask panel do not work. Layer mask, adjustment layer, group, new layer and delete. I click on them and they do nothing. I have Adobe CC all apps, the latest PS version 26.3 updated 6 days ago. I have windows 11, last updated 09.02.2025

    It's recommended to backup your settings before resetting the preferences.

    You’ve reactivated an older thread. And you wrote only that the solution doesn't work. It may seem like it's the same problem, but it may not be. Also, you're not giving us any information about your system and what you've tried so far.

     

    Rather than reactivating an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information.

    Please include system information, a detailed description of the problem and if it's possible a step-by-step instructions for reproduction. Also includes the steps that you've done by your own to solve the issue.

     

    If the issue is really the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location.
