preset manager options missing in photoshop

[Lena28580171ip5t]

I am taking a class about using adobe capture patterns in Photoshop.  When I go into the edit menu and select presets, then preset manager, I am only given two options: contours and tools.  The prerecorded class says I should have: brushes, swatches, gradients, styles, patterns, and custom shapes all in the "preset manager type" drop down menu as options.  I do not.  I am trying to find out how to get these options.  I am working with windows.  I have not had any previous versions of photoshop installed, and I am using the CC version which provides me with the latest updates regularly.

That is an outdated method. Presets now all have their own options in the Window menu and are managed in their respective panels:

Brushes, Patterns, Gradients, Styles, Swatches.

Brought over presets from CS6 and added them in, but nothing shows up in preset manager except some contours. Tried saving brushes as a new group, but again don't show in manager. Not seeing anything in manager except contours. Same with actions, patterns,etc. Have used cloud ps in work situations and never saw this issue. This is with ps 26.2.0, using since start of year. When I go into libraries, I don't see anything in presets either.

Not sure if a bug or I did something wrong. Mac os 15.2 on a mac mini m4.
