How turn off home screen in Photoshop 2020?

[Bazsl]

Turned on the Home screen in PS 2020 to see what is new and I can't turn it off. I unchecked Auto-show the Home Screen in preferences but the home screen still appears every time I launch PS. How can I disable the Home screen?

Sorry - NO! I just found out that I have the same problem. CC2020 preference doesn't change/resolve this.

Click the PS logo in the top left

[neg5CBA]

Thanks. it really worked for me.

[GeneralDynamickx]

Yup! Worked for me too. Thanks a lot!

[dwoodwoo]

thank you, clicking on the logo on the upper-left after checking the preference off also worked for me.

Yay!

[davishaynes]

Wow! I don't know how in the world you figured that out - but Thanks! Works like a charm!

I agree it is a nuisance everytime you start it up.... I wish I could help with this one....

[valiantt44692826]

Try this: go to Edit>Preferences>General and check Auto-Update Open File-based Documents

Restart Photoshop.

Sorry, just tried that and no change.

This worked for me.

You should remove below folder first:

"%AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020"

Didn't help, will try remove folder first

[Pamela5C44]

Thank you, removing that folder worked - thank goodness!

[Glynis0D4C]

Where do I find that folder to delete it

[Anti-Alias]

Please someone help me locate this file it is driving me insane. I even did the Shift+Option+Command to delete the Settings File upon opening Photoshop and the homescreen keeps opening up. This is with Photoshop 2022. Ugh.

[Anti-Alias]

I guess that AppData folder is in Windows. My problem is on a Mac and it's persistant. I have no idea how to get rid of that home screen.

This worked for me (in photoshop 2021). Thanks!

[Jean-Claude5EDE]

worked for me, v. 23.0  Thanks!

You may have to do it several times before the <bleep> thing gets the message and goes away.

I just reset preferences because a Select and Mask setting wouldn't stick. Fixed that - but then I suddenly found myself in Home Screen he11. It was like a leech, it just wouldn't let go. I think I had to relaunch and restart 4 or 5 times, checking and unchecking that box in between.

I was sort of prepared because it did the same thing when I first installed 2020, although it let go the second time then.

I've just experienced the same thing with Photoshop 2020. I managed to sort it. I'm not sure which did the fix so perhaps do both. 

Edit - Preferences - General - Uncheck "auto show homescreen" - Then reset preferences on quit - Ok - prompt - ok - then "cancel" out of here

Then Ctr N and create a new canvas. Then close everything down. Reopen Photoshop and hopefully like me, it will finally be gone 🙂

Hope this helps someone out there.

This worked for me, Thank you!

Thanks for the guidance, did not work exactly for me,  However, Uncheck "auto show homescreen" - Ok - prompt.  Then Ctr N and create a new canvas. Then close everything down. Reopen Photoshop.
