I understand how to turn the grid on and off. However, recently whenever I open a file, Photoshop is showing the grid. Since I almost never use the grid (and certainly not as my first task when working with a newly opened file), this is an annoyance. Can anyone tell me how to change the default behavior so that the grid is hidden? Forum posts on this seem to be mostly from many years ago.

Great, that fixed it! Thank you Jane.
But is there a way to make Extras hidden by default?
You're welcome, @Leif5FDE !
Not that I know of — not for all Extras. You can go into View > Show and turn off the ones you don't want. Then Cmd+H will hide/show the remaining one or two.
If there were a way to hide all Extras when you opened a file, would these things confuse you?
I know these three would confuse new users. Advanced users can uncheck everything they don't want to see — possibly leaving only the selection edges and guides for example. These two will only actually show up when they are used.
