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?

Can you clarify your issue. The pen tool draws paths not lines. Paths are only visible when selected in the paths panel - they are not part of the image.

A path can of course have a stroke which does become part of the visible image. We really need to see a full screen screenshot of your issue, along with a bit more explanation, in order to give advice.

The width and colour of the path can be adjusted in Preferences and in options.

Ideally including the pertinent Panels, »Paths« for example.

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Paths, Options Bar, …) visible?

Please try first to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here:

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:

Another try it to turning on the option »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop.
