Pr 2020: Video playback button keeps disappearing

Hi all.

 

Since yesterday, the video playback button disappears quite frequently. For example, if I play a video, then stop the video, the playback button disappears. Or I open Pr and start a new project, and the playback button is not even there!

 

I have to keep selecting Window -> Program Monitor -> (project name) to bring it back. Doing this once per session is ok, but doing this 10+ times each session is not right. This all started yesterday. I also notice an icon that says "Gang to program monitor" appear on the left of the video rewind button. I am not sure if it was there before or not.

 

What can I do? Thanks in advance.

    The play button has not disappeared as the Reference Monitor (which your are looking at and not the Program Monitor) does not have a play button.....

    Make sure Show Transport Controls are toggle on, under the monitor wrench menu

        Next time it disappears, click the + button on the right, then drag the Play button down to the controls, see if it stays after that.

        Adjusting the workspace solved this, but I will try this when it happens again.

        Have you tried to reset your workspace? See https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/workspaces.html#customizing_workspaces

        And second, does it also happens when you use other workspaces?

        This happens to me every minute. I tried to follow the link above about resetting workspaces, but that link no longer works.

        Resetting the Workspaces:
        Reset a workspace
        Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
        1. Do one of the following:
        • Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
        • Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
        from here:
