Issue with Transparency Checkerboard desaturating color in all images and persisting thru closing/reopening PS

Hi!

I have no idea what I did but I was trying to desaturate color in one image and accidentally applied a transparency checkerboard that wraps around all artboards and appears to desaturate the images in them (but upon export color is there).

When I close and reopen the Photoshop, the checkerboard/desaturation issue persists.

When I try to move an artboard out of the checkerboard area, the checkerboard moves with it.

Here are some screenshots! https://imgur.com/a/S6RIFg2

Please let me know if you have an idea what could be doing this and thank you in advance!!

Did you mean to apply a transparent background? (It's done via the Properties panel, usually.)

Not sure what's going on with the color. Have you tried opening this in later versions of CC like 2018 or 2019? Does this happen with plain documents (non-artboard)?
