Photoshop tool icons are missing

[andrewg51719078]

Recenlty my Photoshop tool icons simply do not appear on the toolbar. they function fine but it is troublesome to find the right tool. The only way I could solve this is to reinstall photoshop but I cannot possibly do that every day.

You need to rename Folder '25'

[Pacroid]

This works. Though it should be noted that as new versions of PS are released. The latest folder should be named, ".old". I had to rename my 25 folder to 25.old.

Your fix seems to work for me as well. Thank you very much! I assume I can delete the .old-folders as well now?

Changing 25 to 25.old worked for me, ver 25.6.0. Thanks

Thanks for the latest folder tip. April 2024, using the latest version of Photoshop and this crap is still happening. If I never read your tip, I would have had to reinstall an older version.

Changing the folder name to 24.old only worked for me for a day. Turned my pc off to go for lunch and came back and my toolbar icons were gone again. Adobe fix this!

Dear Adobe

  This problem still exists in Photoshop version 25 - specifically 25.9.1 20240610.r.626 e3aae35 x64   I think it's about time your dev and QA team prioritize this in their next sprint perhaps?

Thank you Sameer for the help resolving it.  I did the same thing he advises, but with the folder called 25. Hopefully this helps someone else who may be having this issue.

I changed my working Disk drive number and the prob was gone after restart.

Bless you Sameer K! I have been trying to work without seeing the tools for a week now and it was driving me crazy! You are a life saver!

[InTouch Design]

It worked! Thank you so much!

What if you don't have a 24 folder in PHSP folder?  just 22, 23 and 25!  HELP - there's one in the beta folder but I'm not using beta. MY photoshop is updated so it's not an older version.
