Photoshop shapes only filled in black

Going crazy trying to figure out what is wrong. No matter what shape I draw in Photoshop, it only shows black. Double clicking the shape's layer and the color picker shows the correct color. But it still appear black only. Even exporting images only show black shapes. This issue started after I updated Photoshop to the latest version.

 

Anyone knows what I am doing wrong? Or there is a bug in the app? Please help. Thanks!

 

Photoshop 21.0.1

macOS Mojave 10.14.6

    Hi marliton. Thanks for helping. I just found the issue. For some reason, after updating to the latest version, the Shape Stroke is set to max 288px black. This covers up the Fill color and make the shape black. I adjust it to zero and now everything is OK.

    Had the exact same issue -- thanks for figuring it out. Getting rid of the stroke solved it.

    Hi. Please check if you don't have a layer style or if your file is in Grayscale mode. Maybe can be helpful to share a file with the problem to check it and know if its a local problem (in your computer) or is a problem with the file.
