PSE 18 - Empty Panel Bins?

This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)

I posted this a few days ago without any response - thought a photo may help.

OK here is my issue.

Background: Running W10 on a Dell Intel i5-4460 @ 320 GHz. I have a paid Version wiith a valid Prod #. I go back to PS 3 and have used several up grades since this last PS elements 16. I ordered the Elements 18 back in Aug 2018. I installed it soon afterward but never began to use it until recently as I had a project in PSE 16 that I wished to complete. Recently, I opened PSE 18 just to have a look not starting anything specific, I found that some of the tools in the bin were not yealding what I expected and used to in PSE 16. Namely Effects (Fx), Styles, Graphics seem to have no content. When promted to load these files it brings me to a directory that is empty of files of requiring that ext.

I have uninstalled the original PSE 16 and then installed PSE 18 no change uninstalled and reinstalled it - no change. I have

no clue?

I have followed the suggestions in the HELP files and some in the forum with no success. Here is a screen dump of my PSE 18 screen. These are the ONLY Presets that are available. Is there a solution to this issue? Many have posted with problems regarding these presets with very few resolutions. Really could use some support on this issue.

    Have you tried deleting the preferences file?  Hold Alt+Ctrl+Shift immediately upon launch of the program and respond yes when asked to delete settings file.

    Greg, Thank you.  This is the only one available and I can "Show All" of these Filters.  It's all of the other Presets (Effects, Styles and Graphics) that are not available.

    Your screenshot shows that you have limited the filters panel to only show the blur templates.  What happens if you click on the dropdown menu and choose Show All?
