Effects control panel doesn’t auto-open

[Mike_Abbott]

In AE 2022 / Win10.

 Guys I have a rather odd situation that I'm getting in AE 2022 - across all projects:

When I add an effect to a layer the ‘effects controls’ panel no longer auto-opens. The effect is applied and I can open the effects control panel manually via the windows menu or shortcut and all is as expected – it’s just that the panel doesn’t auto open when an effect is applied. The project panel just remains in focus.

Anyone know what is going on here?

Also, docking your effect controls panel somewhere on your workspace can fix this issue. Then you don't have to navigate through menus when you want to adjust an effect.

Thanks Jake - but sadly not. It's actually my posting that started that Creative Cow thread, but I didn't find an answer - hence my later post here. Clearly this is an edge case as it seems I'm the 'only one' with this issue.

Ha! I didn't notice that. Sounds like you've had this issue for awhile. Did this start happening when you updated to CC2022?
