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 24 folder by adding a .old at the end. ('24' > Rename > '24.old')

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

Thanks!

Sameer K

Wait, nope, it happened again. Changing Windows Scaling did not work, and now uninstalling and installing does not work either. Methinks the time to end Adobe Subscription is at hand

I managed to resolve this by resetting my Photoshop cache and resetting preferences. It is strange that I would have to do that to restore a basic function of this subscription based program I am systemically paying for but boy do I hope Adobe is happy.
