photoshop cc 2019 options bar is missing Please help

My option bare just vanished?.. I was working on a photo, then closed Photoshop when I reopened photoshop and the Options panel for the tools was gone.   I have tried to find an answer online and have followed all possible suggestions that I could find, from resetting my default workspace to small screen option. I have tried everything possible. Options are checked on in the windows dropdown menu.

It's selected but doesn't show up at all. I have tried turning it off restarting photoshop and turning it back on and nothing.

Please help. This is very important and time sensitive.

Go to the Window menu > Workspace > Essentials, then

Window menu > Workspace > Reset Essentials to reset the workspace.

Is it back?

I am having the same problem, I cannot see the options bar. I have tried everything including resetting the worspace essentials and it is still not visible. I'm using phototshop CC release 22.0.1.

Thanks, Jane. Same prob. What did I press that caused the tool bar AND the options bar to vanish? Sounds like a confusing function that the Adobe programmers should disable. Daniel in San Antonio.

Possibly the tab key on your keyboard. Press it again to restore.

Thank you. This makes sense -- I was looking at my screen and thought I pressed Caps Lock, but must've hit Tab. I'll remember this next time. It's a royal pain to rebuild the Photoshop workspace the way I prefer. Daniel
