DEFINE Pattern Greyed Out after update

[angelat66498437]

Both of my computers that I updated photoshop on are both having this issue.  When I create a new pattern using 400x400 pixels, 8 Bit there is no option to define a pattern any longer.  It still works on my old computer but I utilize this everyday so not having it available on my new computers is not an option.  I've googled everything but the responses are all super old.  Please help!

Try selecting it. If that doesn't work, try resetting your preferences.

I am having this same issue. My image IS selected. This has been a recurring problem. I've looked all through preferences and can find nothing that has to do with patterns or anything that would be related to this.

How large is your image that you have selected? Did you reset the preferences - don't look through them - RESET them.

I'm having the same problem too. How do I reset the preferences?

Thank you! It worked I did the preference reset. I hadn't thought of doing that after the update.
