Ever since upgrading to photoshop 2024 the history panel will not open when selected. I click it, it animates a derpession but the panel won't open. Now I have to go to the windows menu to get it to open which is very inconvenient.

    Try resetting the tools and/or preferences.
    To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
    Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color settings will also be reset to default.
