No canvas view on new document

Question

When I [open a document, or a new document, I see the layer content on the layer panel, but no canvas. I've had this happen countless times, and it rectifies if I close Photoshop and then reopen it. It's extremely annoying. Anyone else have this problem?

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:
