I just downloaded the latest Photoshop update and have an annoying problem suddenly...

When I open Photoshop and click on new window, I receive a blank, gray and unclickable screen...the window is obviously the one where you would pick the new size of the window...but it is just gray...

Anyone else have this?

    Hi AJIIJA,

    Please click on edit>preferences>general and uncheck the option " Show start workspace when no documents are open".

    Also, check the option "Use Legacy new document interface".

    Now try to create a new document.

    Please let us know if this helps.

    Regards,

    Gautam

    Mac or Windows, and exactly which version?

    Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers

    Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter

    •nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    •ATI Driver Autodetect http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool

    There are also intermittent reports that the newest driver is not always the best driver due to driver bugs or compatibility issues, so you MAY need to try an earlier driver version

    Thanks, Win 10 ver 1709...

    Other than trying to open New Document, Photoshop is fine...

    I'll try an earlier Graphic card driver, but the latest Nvidia driver was working fine with Photoshop before the Photoshop update...

    Thanks...
