Photoshop 2024 not displaying checked palettes

[Island Annie]

Just installed Photoshop 2024 in my new MacBook Air running Ventura 13.5. Although a couple of the palettes show, the Layers group and many others do not show even when checked in the Window list. This makes Photoshop unusable. I rebooted, no change. What to do?

Do you have (or have had) a second monitor and have you looked there?

Also try: Window menu > Workspace > Default followed by Window > Workspace > Reset Default. Does the Layers panel show up now? If not, show a screenshot of your Application window.

This is a brand new MacBook Air, no second monitor. I migrated from
another Mac, but it did not ever have a second monitor, either. I tried
Window menu > workspace > default & reset default, to no avail (It
called it Essentials (default) and reset essentials, if that matters).
So here is a screenshot. Thanks for any help!

Have you already tried with preference reset https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html? I will recommend manual method because you can drag preferences back if method does not work. In any case save any unsaved actions and presets if you decide to try with preference reset.

The forum software automatically removes attachments when sent by email. You need to use the Insert Image button (mountain and sun) in a reply window.

Here's what may possibly be happening: your Photoshop window is larger than your Mac screen and the right side with your panels is hidden off-screen. To fix it, resize the window by any corner or side until it is significantly smaller. Then move it by the application title bar to the upper left and size it again from the right side.

Yes, that is exactly it! Thank you and everyone for such great ideas. I am almost crying with relief.
