My photoshop (the latest edition) suddenly started showing the "Home Screen" that has all of those annoying suggestions on it, recent files, etc. I unchecked the "Auto Home Screen," checked the "use legacy new file" box, checked the "reset preferences when quitting" box, then quit. The auto screen still comes up. I tried it again after first opening a file. Still the auto screen appears. Help.

If you reset preferences on quit, the home screen will come right back. Resetting preferences returns the application to factory state, and that means home screen active.

Try this: Uncheck "auto show home screen", then open an image, close it out again, and then shut down Photoshop with just the regular workspace but no image.Then it should stick.
