In the last two updates of PS 2024 (25.2.0 on WIN 11 OS) the adjustment panel shows up but the are no icons and if I go to the upper right corner and choose adjustment (levels for example) I get "Could not complete the command due to program error"
This is very inconveinient, I can dublicate the layer, go to menu "image>adjustment>levels" do my business and then add a layer mask but that is not how we want this work, right?

This together with a similar issue with missing Toolbar icons has been going on for a while now. Most of the posts were about missing Toolbar icons, but I had the same as you... not Adjustment layer icons. The thing is, I thought this was fixed a couple of updates ago. What is worse in your case, is getting the program error message when trying to access the layers via the right click drop down. I can't think of any other thread reporting that.

Can you access them via the Layers menu?

In the full release verson I have the Image > Adjustment shortcuts transfered to Leyer > Adjustment Layer and that's how I was adding Adjustment Layers when I had no icons. So can you tell us if you can add adjustment layers from the menu without getting the Program Error ?

@Georges.K I have had it happen just once with 25.2 and in that case simply restarting Photoshop fixed it.

I suggested using the menu bar if your Adjustment layer icons don't show, but It's probably easier to use the Adjustment Panel flyout menu.

I have yet to see any theroies as to why this is happening.

Thank you Trevor for your reply.
The problem persits even after numerous stops/restarts of the program. I even have uninstalled and reinstalled PS 25.2 without success.
The Menu shows up, but everything is grayed out. If I try to switch from Modern view to Classic view or vice versa, I get an error prompt. (see attachments - I don't know how to insert pics here).
The only way to have a normal "Adjusment panel" is using PS 25.4 (beta).
If, on the same laptop, the panel works with the beta version, I am incline to beleive that this cannot be a question of hardware (graphics card) or drivers.
One more detail I've noticed. I have been working for many years with a personnal workspace.
If I use the standard workspace "Essentials" and uncheck "Adjusments" in the "Window" drop down menu, only "Adjusments" dissapears from the workspace, but if I use my personnal workspace (called Geka_01) and I uncheck "Adjusments" in the drop down menu, in this case my whole workspace vanishes from the user interface.
The AP has been working for several weeks after installing PS 25.2. The day the panel went blank I was trying to open a simple .jpg file which showed in the "Navigator" panel, but nothing appeared in the middle of the workspace. To bring it back, I had to close and restart PS and when it reopened the AP was empty and has remained empty since then.
I don't have a clue why this is happening. Thanks for your friendly help.
