Liquify Tool Not Previewing Edits - Photoshop 22.5 on Windows 10

This has been an issue for at least a month now. Anytime I open an image and use the liquify tool, the Preview checkbox is checked, but the edits cannot be seen until I press "Ok."

 

I usually troubleshoot my own issues and search the threads and can usually figure everything out... but this issue has me stumped.

 

I have included my system info below.

 

Any insight into what the issue may be?

Hi,

 

We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop while using the Liquify tool. Please try enabling the option to Deactivate Native Canvas from Photoshop by going to Preferences, then Technology Previews. Once done, quit & relaunch Photoshop to check if that helps.

 

If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3

Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

 

Let us know how it goes!

Regards,

Nikunj
