Recenlty my Photoshop tool icons simply do not appear on the toolbar. they function fine but it is troublesome to find the right tool. The only way I could solve this is to reinstall photoshop but I cannot possibly do that every day.

Hey, @Stefan31701036zdnm. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out.

What version of Photoshop are you working on? Moving this to discussions for now.

Try this:

Go to the following location on Windows 10/11: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSP
Press Windows + R & type this is the Run Window - %APPDATA%\Adobe\UXP\PluginsStorage
In the PHSP Folder, rename the 26 folder by adding a .old at the end. ('26' > Rename > '26.old')

These changes will give a refresh to panels in Photoshop. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Sameer K

Photoshop. Fix it please. And fonts don't work either, I'm having to use arrow keys to scroll through them. There's other stuff too. It's frustrating. None of the temp fixes really work. You need to hire someone to Bob the builder it. Artists are in pain here.

It works until the next time I use PS pos. Several versions on my computer. They all do it sometimes and other times they work.

Anyone know how to stop this headache? All the tools are greyed out. I have to literally right click them to see what tools are there and even sometimes that doesn't work. I spend every day opening and closing photoshop to maybe get one or tools to appear. It's not right? Am I doing something wrong?
