Photoshop workspace issue [tab closed on startup]

Solved

Hello,

For the past few days, I've been faced with a rather annoying problem, let me explain:

Each time I start Photoshop, all the panels/tabs on the right are closed every time. I have to reopen them at each startup, which results in a loss of time each time.

I can't find a way to force the display of these tabs. Yet a few days ago I had no problem... Bad manipulation? Possible...

Here's a screenshot, it might be more understandable: http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=15/11/r8gu.jpg

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 40.0.2214.115

    Hi

    -Go to Edit > Preferences > Interface
    -Click on Restore Default Workspaces
    -Uncheck Automatically Hide Icon Panels
    -Check Automatically Show Hidden Panels
    -Click OK and restart Photoshop

    If that’s not enough, in Photoshop click on the drop-down menu at the top right and choose Reset Essentials, close Photoshop and restart it.

      Hello Zlatan,
      Thank you for your message and your help.

      So,
      I tested several configurations in preferences > interface.

      I have unchecked "automatically minimize icon panels" and checked "automatically show hidden panels." And here’s what I get after restarting: http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=15/11/mwyv.jpg

      For now the problem persists... :/

        It's normal that you're on a customized workspace since I see 'Endymion' or something like that at the top right, so Photoshop starts up on it.
        Remove it using the little drop-down menu, switch to essentials, and click reset essentials.

      Hello again Zlatan and thanks again.

      I just deleted the "Endymion" space and reset "The essentials"... Here’s what I have: http://zupimages.net/viewer.php?id=15/11/y3yp.jpg

      I will now restart Photoshop and the PC.

      The tabs are again in the closed position...
      I really think we’re in the right place, I’ve tried to adjust it in these configurations since this morning but nothing seems to work...

      I’m starting to wonder if there’s a defect maybe after adding plugins or scripts.. because I can’t see where the problem could come from....

      Do you have any other ideas?

      Hello,

      I work on Photoshop CS3 Extended on Windows, but when I go to reset the workspace, the tabs do not appear, and in Edit>Preferences>Interface, I can't find the options to reduce the icon panels and show hidden panels...? I don't know what to do anymore; I've never seen the tabs, not even the first time I installed PS... Can you help me? I need to submit a project, and I've already lost a day!
