Try resetting your Photoshop preferences. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings. You can also reset preferences upon a quit if Photoshop is running by going into General Preferences>General>Reset on Quit.

Are any brushes back?

Fortunately, all of my brushes are saved outside of Ps and all of the cool brushes I've downloaded are also saved. Of course, no one wants to go back and have to reinstall a gazillion brushes. LOL

This is akin to Actions that can go missing, and many fail to save them (as a set) to reinstall. So save those actions and brushes, and for that matter, if PS is running fine, your preferences. A lot easier to reinstall than start from scratch.
