Photoshop Window Too Large

Hi,

I faced this issue after updating to the latest version of Photoshop:

1. The Photoshop window is too large. As you can see, the sliders below are missing. Even clicking "restore" on the top right corner doesn't bring back my sliders.

2. When I create a new document, the window is too small. As you can see, the window opens up in a very small area, while the rest of the area is a white space.

I have tried searching online for solutions but am not able to find one. Can anyone help?

Hi,

I've had the same issue with a few of the previous updates, I resolved them that time by playing around with the UI scaling settings. On a Windows system it's

Edit-Preferences-Interface-UI Scaling.

You will have three options Auto, 100% and 200% try changing on of those.

Hi,

Thanks for that. Unfortunately it doesn't work as well.

To add on, this issue seems to have started after updating Photoshop.

I think the issue is most likely GPU related

I assume you have a Laptop, what kind of GPU do you have, modern Laptops sometimes have both an on-board and dedicated GPU's which can cause issues

I'm using a Dell XPS15 (2017 model), connected to a BenQ SW2700PT monitor (mirror). The laptop uses a Nvidia GeForce 1050.

Any idea why this issue arose only now?

Have you tried to reset your workspace? I had this problem and doing so cured it.

Thanks, SMOk3420.

It works sometimes, but after a while it reverts to the old problem, especially when Camera Raw is used.

Hi

Have you tried updating your GPU driver from the manufacturers website
