Hello, did you try to to reset the transform tool (right-click on its icon in the option bar  ) or, if it did not work, to recreate your preferences?

I don't see a "transform tool" only a transform option under the Edit menu. Where can I find it?

Press V and right click on the icon on the icon

Right clicking the tool merely shows the artboard tool

I'm sorry sir but this is confusing.  I've only used the shortcut. I do not know what the "optoin bar" is.   Your image does not compute with my photoshop.  

The instructions in this thread in general feel incongruent and only obvious to those in the know. 
I use custom shortcuts so those don't help too well either.
