P: Photoshop (v25.5.1 & v25.6) opening with black/blank home screen

[gabriel5E9E]

Hey folks! 

I was working with photoshop and illustrator, then I went to lunch and closed both apps. 
When booting them up again, Photoshop "home screen" is black. I can't open recent files. 

When I open a saved .psd, the file opens correctly.

Already updated to the 25.5.1 version.

Thank you for so much helpful information.  I have solved my black screen problem - it was an issue with Adobe Camera Raw.  So for others still having issues with Black/Blank screens might be worth testing if standard psd / jpg files can still be opened and whether it is the action of invoking ACR when opening RAW files that is causing the problem.  Thank you everyone for all your helpful suggestions and solutions.

I followed the steps suggested by Sameer for fixing this same problem but it was not corrected. Still getting only a black screen for every file I open in Photoshop 25.5.1.
