    There is an option to restore default workspaces under Preferences (Cmd or Ctrl k) See if that works.

    I've just used the 2019 version for the past several years; it's had Essentials Classic until very recently (some time in the past month). Today I was horrified to find it deleted by Adobe, and am looking for a fix.

     In a different post you mentioned being able to somhow "save" Workspaces; is there any chance these saves are downloadable/sharable (similar to fonts), and if so, do you know of any "hubs" of publically-uploaded workspaces (similar to font-download sites)?


    In Edit > Prefrences > Workspace, try clicking on "Restore Default Workspaces".

    Just reset your application preferences and it will come back without loosing any of your customized settings:
    To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
