Hiyan
So there is a bug in my installation. Recent update I guess. One of the reasons why I don't really like updates all the time is that eventually some code monkey messes everyone up by NOT actually fixing what needs fixing and breaking folks installations. SO now I have this issue. The notice you see below is only a small thing. The larger thing is that PS now resets my ENTIRE layout back to default. I have had a custom layout for years now and now it's all gone. I redid the whole thing earlier today thinking it was just a glitch but nope, now upon restarting up PS I see that it's back to the default layout again.
This needs to be looked into and fixed pronto. I've no time for issues like this!
Thanks
Richard

It's over a gig, so are the specific files you need to look at? Maybe I have the wrong path that I need to get these files from?
My path I'm looking in is: C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022
Please let me know
Thanks

Close Photoshop and try deleting the Gradients.psp from the following location, it will be recreated when you launch Photoshop again.
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022\Adobe Photoshop 2022 Settings

Didn't work, PS isn't recreating the Gradients.psp file either so something is corrupted in the installation. Should I just uninstall and reinstall or are there any other things I can try to correct this?

Didn't work. I uninstalled and am reinstalling. I have all my presets backed up so no worries there!

Reinstalling worked. Back up and running. Yea, so I gotta put my UI back to where I like it, it's ingrained in my head so that's cool. Not sure what happened. I knew something was up like if I hovered over a tool usually the shortcut would be presented but it was a blank square so that was a sign things were going sideways but I chose to ignore that as it seemed not important.

Glad you're up and running again
