After a recent update, I can no longer permanently turn off “Show Extras” and layer/selection edges. I don’t want any edges, bounding boxes, etc showing. How can I turn these off globally and permanently like I could before? When I close all files, those options under View are greyed out.

    I think I figured out the problem. You were right about the move tool settings. I found the ones I needed to turn off and it did remove the bounding boxes. It’s always challenging when a new update changes all of your custom settings back to default. I would suggest Photoshop having an option to save user settings like InDesign does. If it does, please let me know how to locate it. Thanks for your help.

    Thank you. I would like the checkmark to be off for Extras and <Selection Edges> persistently for all documents. The Move Tool settings don’t seem to affect this.
