Where is the option to hide the star workspace in Photoshop 2020?

There isn't in the Edit > Preferences > General.

I have tried to use all combinations and anything isn't working... maybe I need a reinstallation?


Let's try a Preferences Reset:  Then try again. Also restart Photoshop when you change the Home Screen setting.

REALLY F***ING ANNOYING
When it opens, you need to do the preferences thing for legacy and to not auto show (as explained below)...
...THEN...
...click on the blue PS Logo

Restart and the nightmare should be over

Can't wait to go to an Adobe event and shout at some senior managers from point blank range

They need to understand the outrage these stupid changes cause

It worked. I like how it worked. Can you (pretty please with sugar on top) leave things the f*** alone!

there seems to be a lot of 'preferences' that the user end cannot do. Its a shame considering the great software. I too suffer from lack of preferences

I couldnt understand why some preferences that the experts above show were not in my 2019 copy. Then I realised - I had gone into file location found PSE exe icon and made that a short cut on desktop. The home screen no longer exists, for me.

Hi

PSE is Photoshop Elements and not Photoshop CC

I tried to check the "use legacy new document interface", press OK, restart Photoshop, and the same screen with all my recent works popped up again...

Uncheck "Auto-show the Home Screen". If for any reason you want to see it again, click on the "house" icon in the upper left part of your Photoshop workspace. When in the Home Screen, click on the Ps icon in the upper left to return to Photoshop.

Unchecking Auto-show just means you can decide when you want to see the Home Screen.

 

"use legacy new document interface" is the old-school New File dialog box which some users prefer over the new enhanced dialog.
