Try unticking Use Graphics Processor under the Performance tab in Photoshop preferences.

Yes, same here.
Was fine yesterday, but a blank white screen today.
What I have found by pure mistake, is if you apply a colour lookup adjustment layer on top of the layer stack, it reveals all of your layers.

Which version of Photoshop and OS?
Does this effect apply to any image you try and open or just a particular one?
Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preferences?

CS subscription, and all up to date.
It has happened to all files opened so far this morning. I import files from Bridge as a layered photoshop file. You see the layers appear and then the screen goes white.
I haven't tried resetting preferences. I have deadlines I need to meet but will have a play later. Adding a colour lookup adjustment layer will do for now. If you switch off the lookup adjustment then the screen goes back to white.
Has there been a recent update?

I have the same issue. This is due to the today's Photoshop upgrade, After installing it, each composition which includes layers is displayed as white. Layer thumbnails still are showing the actual images but the entire preview is white.
Can you fix it as soon as possible???

There's no need to disable the GPU, go to Edit > Preferences > Technology Previews and enable this option, then restart Photoshop

Thanks Ged. Just want to confirm: The 'Old GPU mode' should be enabled?
