Paths not joining with pen tool...

After recently updated to PS 2021, the "create new path" pen tool will not connect a path to the anchore points...they're just floating points! I tried copy and paste of an older path, erased a line segment and tried to redraw it but still wouldn't connect the line. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks, anyways. Work around: second machine that wasn't auto-updated with the lates PS!

The workaround is to create a work path with at least one pixel, then your named paths will work. Instead of looking for a second machine, you can go back using the Creative Cloud app, btw.

If you start a work path using the pen tool rather than clicking new path then the anchor points will join ok. if you have a part made path which will no longer join, start a new work path using the pen tool copy and paste your part made path into this work path and the points will join up ok. only when it is a saved path or clipping path will it no longer join.
Hope this helps
