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.

If this doesn't help we need more informations about your system including the following:

• Adobe product and version number
• Operating system and version number
• The full text of any error message (s)
• What you were doing when the problem occurred
• Screenshots of the problem
• Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; the amount of RAM; etc

What has been changed on your system before the error occur?

Thanks. The above info will help to solve your problem.

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

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.

thank to reply.... The line  with pen tool is getting hidden but now it is fine, change this setting " Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings "  work perfectly

Unfortunately this is no proper solution as it invalidates GPU dependent features (like the Rotate View Tool, some Filter acceleration, …) but it indicates problems with the GPU driver or the OS.
