So ever since the 2019 update Photoshop on my desktop and my laptop is borderline unusable. Many tools and adjustments simply do not apply, UNTIL you do something else. So say I type out text. The text doesn't appear, until I select another layer, then the text suddenly appears. Or just now I applied a Stroke effect to some text, the stroke did not actually become visible until I moved to another layer, then back to the text layer. This was happening to me a few days ago with many other actions also. Such as "Undo". I was erasing some stuff with the eraser tool (working fine), but slipped and went too far, so I hit Ctrl-Z. Nothing happened. Then I hit Ctrl-Z again, and suddenly it stepped backward twice. I had to then do a Ctrl+Shift+Z to step forward one step. So every single time I wanted to undo something, I had to undo TWICE, then Redo once. This doesn't seem to be everything, like I said the eraser tool works fine, as do paint brushes, however it is happening with a lot of different tools and elements in Photoshop.
