After today's update the rulers and guides are not visible and will not turn on with the crtl R. Anyone else have this issue? How do I fix this?

Thank you. That worked. Reporting bugs and navigating the Adobe website and forum is not very intuitive.

Open Photoshop's preferences by clicking on Edit > Preferences > Go to Technology preview, you will find an option labeled as "Deactivate native canvas", check mark it, and then see there should be another option that is labeled as "Use older node of GPU 2016", check mark it and then restart the Photoshop

Just press Ctrl+' to turn on mesh, press it again to hide it and there u go, rulers (Ctrl+r) work again.

after updating to current (newest) Photoshop 24.2 i have lost the ability to see the RULERS on workspaces. Tried restarting program... still not available to see. Tried restarting computer... Still not able to see. Used both drop down menu and Ctrl R to tick show rulers and although the space where the rulers should be (top and left side) is there... there are no rulers to be seen... I CAN get the guides if I click on the space where the rulers should be and drag them onto the workspace... but cannot see the rulers at all. Anyone have this issue? and is there a solution? running on Windows 10 exactly the same as prior to latest Photoshop update.

I've been having the same problem with latest update of PS and Windows 10. Tried the fix below but the rulers are not visible. However, when I click within a few pixels of the edge of the window I can pull out the guides both horizontal and vertical. Only the ruler itself is invisible, but the functionality sorta works.

This is great, I know turning your rulers on is not difficult, but when you use PS daily it turns into a nuesance. These were great instructions, very easy to execute and when I restarted PS my Rulers were ready to RULE!!
