Brush Settings no longer show pen options for using Wacom tablet

I am attaching screenshots of brush and brush settings.  I no longer see opacity or flow options, and no settings for pen pressure.  In the options panel I have toggled the pen pressure settings on and off, as well as the flow ad opacity.

I am using Photoshop 23.02 on a Mac OS 12.01.

 

I did have them earlier today, but I do not know what happened.

 

I have restarted the application, checked my Wacom settings, and restarted my computer.

Please help.

    You can reach out to Adobe support, yes.

    To all who tried to help.

     

    It is resolved, but Adobe needs to fix the issue.  To SELECT a Brush setting. you must click on the selection, not clicking in the box.  To DESELECT click in the box at the left of the setting.  

    I think that is counter-intuitive. The brush tip shaped persisted because I tried ro selct other settings by clicking in the box.

     

    Yikes!

      Hi

      You have the brush tip shape option selected, try clicking on the shape dynamics or transfer and you should see the options for pen pressure etc.

        Thank you for all your recommendations.

         

        I did speak to Wacom support and unistalled all of wacom.  He was quite thorough.

        Did a deep dive into all of the libraries per instructions to remove any and every trace of wacom, then reinstalled drivers, but still the same issue.  He was very concerned and said I should contact Adobe, and might need to unistall and re-install PS. 

         

        How would I save my preferences, and other things like saved selection, etc.  This is daunting.

         

         

         

        You have mentioned that "brush tip" setting is highlighted.  I cannot unselect that.  I have tried.  It doesn't go away when I check other boxes i.e. transfer or shape dynamics or anything else.  Also a very interesting thing happened where ALL of the options were grayed out, and I had to close PS and reopen.

        Is it time to call Adobe?
