Entire Photoshop screen turns neon green

Not sure what is happening but lately my photoshop window screen, which shows my artwork is now neon green.  I cannot see my art and it vibrates also. I don't know if it has something to do when I disconnect from my large monitor or something else. I have upgraded my mac system to Big Sur 11.4.  The only way I can get it to work properly is to delete photoshop from my computer and reinstall it again from Adobe again. I have to click off any saved libraries etc, and start all over again. Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it? It's happened a few times and I'm wondering if there is a conflict somewhere.

 

Please help!

    Try this: go to Preferences >Technology Previews > enable Deactivate Native Canvas. Quit Photoshop and relaunch.

        Do you have Quick Mask turned on?  Hit the Q key to toggle.

        Have a look at thre Channels panel and make sure RGB is checked and only three channels are turned on.

        Quick mask is not on. Channels panel is set as you mentioned.

         

        I just noticed when I'm on my big monitor, it works. When I slide to my laptop, it goes green! Any ideas about that?

        I'm trying to remember what I heard, but you mentioned "something to do when I disconnect from my large monitor or something else." As I recall, it has something to do with switching monitors while PS is running, and I can't remember the details.

         

        Try first connecting the "correct" monitor, then launchingPS to see if that fixes it. Or try the other answer I gave.

         

        Perhaps another volunteer will know; I can't look into it further myself now due to personal obligations.
