Liquify opens up to a grey screen and a 1/2 circle in top left corner.

I updated to the new PS recently and every time I try to run the liquify filter it opens up to the screen but where my image should be is a gray screen and a little half circle in the corner. I have tried it on a merged/flattened and other layer with no fix. I really dont want to go back to the old PS as I use a specific action and it doesn't seem to work with the old PS.

WHAT ARE THE VGA CARDS?

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Your graphics card for your monitor.

If you are on a Windows machine, make sure your display drivers are updated to the latest available.

I am having the same problem. My PC crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 10 ans CC Photoshop. When I go to Liquify it is doing the same thing. The answer given here doesn't help us fix it. Can anyone help?

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Did you upgrade to 22.1.1?

[melissapiccone]

If your graphics card isn't powerful enough, it won't work for you. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html

Did your Photoshop auto update?

[GKelz10]

Yes. I double checked. It’s up to date. I have a feeling there a some
weird setting that has changed. --

Your Photoshop must be set to auto update and it updated without your knowledge. 

The latest Photoshop builds have increased the GPU requirements which your Intel HD4600 does not meet. 

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cc-gpu-card-faq.html 

Specifically the 2000 ops/sec requirement. Your graphics card clocks in at 434.

You'll either have to downgrade your Photoshop or upgrade your graphics card to continue using Photoshop.

cant figure out how far back to downgrade.  every downgrade still has the same result
