Remove Tool Missing in PS 25.0

The Remove tool, which was present in PS Beta 25.1, is not present in the new issue of PS 25.0.  As far as I know, it should be below the spot healing bruch icon.

    Choose Edit >Toolbar. In the Customize Toolbar dialog, if you see your missing tool in the Extra Tools list in the right column, drag it to the Toolbar list on the left.

    It may be a bug. I have version 25.4 and nothing was in that Toolbar. So I went to Customize Toolbar, dragged the RemoveTool out of the "good list" (because it *was* there) and into the Extra Tools list. Shut down Photoshop and started it back up again. Went to Customize Toolbar again, and dragged from the Extra Tools back into the regular list and then it all worked. I can't remember if I shut down and restarted Photoshop in between. I should also say that I moved the RemoveTool to the top of list of the Healing Tools. That may have nothing to do with it.

    Another thing ... you have to right-click that bandaid icon (and to be honest, I don't remember if I tried that before I did all this "jumping through hoops" stuff.

    And what do we do if that isn't the solution? If I have Photoshop 2024 (version 25.1.0, ARM64, Windows 11), have checked the Edit->Toolbar (there are no Extra Tools shown), and there is no Remove Tool, or any tools at all to drag in? All I can find is that advice, and that doesn't help... basically a clean install (I don't make many customizations to Photoshop).

      I believe some windows machines that have the ARM Snapdragon processor do not have it. I ran into this with even being able to install photoshop on my Windows Microsoft Surface Laptop. It is CRAZY that the Mac ARM processor doesn't have this issue but the Windows computers with ARM processors do. They really should fix it - but to date, I haven't seen anything on it or any fix for it. 

      Just know you're not crazy. The Remove Tool is not there for me either (And isn't in the extra tools or restore defaults) 

      My computer's system info
      Processor: Snapdragon(R) X 12-core X1E80100 @ 3.40 GHz (3.42 GHz)
      System type: 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processor

      It would b hidden if you had a customized toolbar that carried over from before the Remove tool existed. However, in 25.0 (non-beta) you should have seen the below message. Did you see anything like this?

        That fixed it! I wonder why it was hidden?
