I have a gray blank screen that will not go away

I have a gray blank screen that will not go away.  I have tools undocked and this screen is always open.  When I click on the desktop to go out of Photoshop it always there.

 

How do I eliminate it?

Are you referring to the Application Frame? 

 

Go to Window > Application Frame so it's unchecked.

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue? 

Does turning on »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Hello

 

Thanks for the info.  It did not remove it.

 

When I open a job it opens another window, this one seems to be a dock. It always says "Adobe Photoshop 2020" on the header

In Photoshop CS5 it does not do this.

 

In Photoshop 2017. It says- Show Start Workspace When No Documents are Open.  I have that unchecked and it still shows workspace

You're running Photoshop 2017? 

 

Go to Edit > Preferences > General... and uncheck "Show Start Workspace when no documents are open"

If you restore your preferences using this manual method does it work correctly?

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back.

Hello. I appreciate the efforts shown here on the board.

 

I did this and the home stills stays.  See images. Note that arrow is pointing Finder. I have clicked on Desktop to go out of Photoshop and the Home page is still there.  I have to click the red button each time.
