I too have the identical problem. Just downloaded PS 22.0.0 and the Solid Color fill /adjustment fill is not working for me. Every other option (gradient, pattern, all of the adjustments) works as intended, but when selecting Solid Color, the document just blinks black and back to normal, but the color fill layer has not been added. Poor timing, as I was literally about to record a screencast tutorial for my students on using Solid Color layers!

Hello everyone, here I encountered the same problem. I can't add an adjustment "Solid Color" layer.

With the first start op PS 2022 I couldn't open any file.  Hopely there comes a major upgrade with solutions.

Last night I discovered that I could drag Solid Fill Color Layers from previous creations and can change the color by clicking on my color of choice in my swatches. If I had a color within my composition I wanted I simply used the eyedropper tool to get the color in my recent. Then by clicking on the previously created color layer and then on the color I wanted, I could get the fill layer to show the color I desired. It's not nearly as convenient, but in a pinch it works. Hopefully, the next update addresses this issue.

Are you using a PC or a Mac I do not see that problem on my Windows PC. I See Problems with the Text tool and the Line tool and experience performance lag. Photoshop has developed a stutter.

I have a PC. When I did the CC update something corrupted and I couldn't open or save files in PS (others had this issue as well when they updated) There was a box in my preferences>performance called "use graphics processor" that was checked. Once unchecked allowed me to open and save files. I don't know if I traded off the ability to use Color fill layers by unchecking that box, but my PS was completely unusable with it checked. The color fill layer is the only tool I have noticed issues with. It may be somehow connected to the issues that occurred when I updated.

Check the your GPU is not old. It seem  Adobe feels that old GPU may be of limited function. I have seen 4 Years old stated on Adobe.com as old.  And GPU now require more VRAM these days Adobe raised the requirement  from 512MB to 2GB and also state to consider GPU that benchmark 2000 or better..

Seriously ?!

If we need a "Ferrari" GPU to create a simple solid color layer, i really suggest that Adobe re-rewrite its Photoshop codes !

Dear,

Sorry for my late answer about this PS problem.  Last week I solved my problem. I simply bought me a new simple

GPU a cheap one : NVidia GeForce GT 710. This one fit in my old PC.
Everything works again for 100 % and all my settings works again in PS 2021. Problem solved !

Grtz.

Hi, I'm wondering if this thread should not be split, I think that all the other users had the issue on Windows, with Ps 2021.

You are right, btw my problem is solved after restarting and cleaning PS preferences. If the problem persists, I will write a separate thread.
