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?

There's another fix in ps 23...when you press the shortcut key ctrl + R / cmd + R there are rules on the canvas but not visible...

just press 2 times the grid shortcut ctrl + " or cmd + " and they'll probably will become visible again..it is a bug but it works

Thanks but I went back to an older version and got the rulers back. I will save your fix for another time when I can take a chance and update to the new version again to try it.

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

This is frustrating!  I have done everything that is in this forum and my rulers are still invisible.  I need my rulers!  The Adobe team was "investigating this issue" as of 2/27/23.  Have they found a fix?  I have a job to do.

Since I updated to 24.2 I can't see the ruler. If I activate it the current picture moves some pixel to right and down but no ruler appears.

Sorry I found the workaround in discussions... deactivate technology preview "deactivate native workspace" and "older gpu mode"
