Photohop 2021 Masking issues

Since the newest photoshop version, masking isn't working properly anymore.

When I use the brush or filling tool with 100% black, the part of the layer i wanted to mask out is still slightly visible.

When I switch to the channels and use the brush again, it's finally at 100% and therefore invisible.

But switching back to the layers and painting again with 100% black, it reappears...

I've checked everything, the creative cloud is up to date, so is the iMac - since today I'm working with macOs Big Sur - still the same issues. Right now I have to work with the old 2020 version to avoid this problem.

Anybody got an idea?

Thanks for your help.

Have you reset the Fore-/Background Color by hitting D?

Turn off the visibility of the lower layers make sure what you are seeing is not being blended in. You may have some low opacity pixels in the masked layer.
