Category Headings in Tool Bar on Right

Question

The Category Categories (VIEW, SELECT, ENHANCE, DRAW, MODIFY, & COLOR) above the various grouped tools in the Tool Bar do not show.

How can I reduce the scaling of PSE2020 on my Windows10 laptop? I believe this is a resolution or scaling issue with this application.

It's the 768px height that's causing the issue.Needs to be 800px and above to see the headings on the Toolbox.

Yep, you're correct - one of the system requirements for Photoshop Elements 2020 is a 1280x800 display. But Adobe kindly built in some graceful degradation, i.e. on displays with a lower resolution display they remove the Toolbox headings so you can still see all of the Toolbox on your screen.

If you go to Settings > System > Display in Windows 10, scroll down to Scale and layout, then set the Display Resolution to at least 1280x800. Restart Photoshop Elements and you should see your Toolbox headings again.
