Every file get kind of 30% opacity but opacity, type of layer and fill has normal 100% values, even when you export the file in jpg looks all right, but while you are working it looks so bad, I´ll share you some screenshots.

 

Does anybody knos how to fix it?

    Try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver).

    Just for testing: Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Settings > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
