No Shape Tool Option for Shape - Only Frame

Question

I’m trying to draw a solid shape in Photoshop 27.8.0. However, when selecting the Shape Tool and looking in the Options Drop Down, there are not options for Shape, Path or Pixels. All I see is a declaration that No Tool Presets defined for Current Tool. So, I’m dead in the water. Note, this issue is independent of whether I’m working with an existing file or creating a new one from scratch.

Try opening the Tool Presets panel, and uncheck Current Tool Only

If that doesn’t help, show us a full resolution screen shot of your entire workspace with one of the Shape tools selected. The relative layer selected. The Tool presets panel visible.
