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.

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.

Hey, @Stefan31701036zdnm. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out.

What version of Photoshop are you working on? Moving this to discussions for now.

 

Try this:

  • Go to the following location on Windows 10/11: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/UXP/PluginsStorage/PHSP
  • Press Windows + R & type this is the Run Window - %APPDATA%\Adobe\UXP\PluginsStorage


     

  • In the PHSP Folder, rename the 24 folder by adding a .old at the end. ('24' > Rename > '24.old')

These changes

Yes, I also have this problem in PS2025 and 2024. Plus the problem of not being able to change fonts.

What's with Adobe Photoshop products, these errors have been gooing on for years. going by replies.

I went back to a previous version. Am afraid to update again. Paying for
something that has a glitch that no one can seem to fix any other way.
