Not sure I like the new Photoshop 2020 user interface. I can get by with the invisible menus, but a new user would be screwed. Is there a way to get menus to show up?

Problem or error

Your Menu bar is not invisible. The Tool Options bar is covering it up. Drag it out of the way using the "gripper" on the left edge of that bar.

Alternatively reset the Workspace by clicking on the Workspace picker box to the right of the magnifying glass icon on the right side of that options bar, and select Reset Workspace from the dropdown menu. It will reset your panels and bars to the default.

Then if the workspace reset doesn't fix it, J.J.Mack, I'll add the GPU helpdoc to show how to assign the proper GPU to Photoshop.

I think I'm going to solve this by going to the previous version of Photoshop. My video drivers are the latest version and I don't have tim to screw around with this. Upgrades used to be painless. I just hope Photoshop development hasn't been farmed out to another country like they have with other programs.

If you have more than one graphics card, see step 7 in the help file posted by Gene.

Several Windows users has reported messed up UI like you have where menu are being covered by the tool option bar. Some solved the problem by configuring their machime so Photoshop only saw one GPU. Their mchines had a Nvidia Display Adapter and Intel HD graphics.
