At some point in the past, I turned off the contextural task bar. I now need access to it, but have not been able to get it to appear in the workspace. I opened the window menu, and the task bar is checked and highlighted, but no panel appears.
I'm using OS 14.7.4 on an Apple M3 w/16 GB, and version 26.4.0 of Photoshop
Thanks for checking what Jane suggested regarding multiple monitors. Since the Task Bar still isn’t appearing, let’s try the following steps:
• Please update Photoshop to version 26.10 (the most recent release) through the Creative Cloud Desktop app.
• Have you already tried resetting your Photoshop preferences as Alek suggested? If not, please do so after backing up your current settings. Instructions here: https://adobe.ly/4fHl7m2
If the issue persists, could you share your System Info from Photoshop? You’ll find it under Help > System Info. Please copy and paste it here.
Another step to try is renaming the UXP folder:
• On macOS, go to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
• Rename the UXP folder to ~UXP
• Restart Photoshop and check if the Contextual Task Bar reappears.
Let us know how it goes after trying these steps.
