Strange looking PS home page

[vickim68445947]

The page where you see all your recent files in PS (I think it is called the home page?) is not looking right. I only see some grayish rounded rectangles on the left side, a small PS logo on upper left corner. Also a zoom magnifying lens in upper right corner. That's it. When I upgraded to the latest version one or two days ago, it was looking fine again. There was text in the upper left corner, and all my recent files were showing. Now it is back to being as I have described above, What gives? Does anyone else have this issue? Photoshop works fine otherwise. I am on Windows 10, and I have the latest PS version.

Do you have an active internet connection?

Did you reset your preferences? When you reset the prefs your recent files reset to nothing.

Do you see anything listed under File > Open Recent?
