Need to constantly reset workspace

I'm using the latest Photoshop update (automatic update) on Windows 11.  Recently, I've encountered a situation where each time I close and then reopen Photoshop, I have to do a Window>Workspace>Reset Essentials maneuver.   Because I use the basic workspace configuration, it's just a minor annoyance.  Still, it would be nice to not have to do that.  Does anyone know why this happens or how to prevent it?

What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

It should be possible to link an action of the reset to the open-event with Script Events Manager if nothing else helps.
