Help needed to reset Photoshop back to original form

I have the subscription PS. Not sure why, but now it opens with the right panel unlike any I have seen before. The main image does not respond to mouse wheel size changes.
How do I reset it to the standard view? Should I delete and reload it from Adobe? My experience with PS is modest. Yes, I did a reboot and yes I did a restart...no change.
Thanks for any assistance. If needed I will call Adobe on Monday.

If you go to "Windows" there is a drop down menu that lets you select different format workspaces. Check that to see if you get things back to what you want.

Good luck!

Thanks so much. I searched and missed that one. I will try it right away. I knew I could count on UHH folks.

Thanks so much. I looked there and was not too sure of what the 'standard' view was.... I tried several and they were still not familiar. I will try the tutorial also suggested and hope something works!

Hi Mark,
Thanks again. I tried those recommendations and wound up getting lost in the details. I decided to delete my version and downloaded a new version. While it started the same way it was easier to reorganize the view. Got most of it working. Only problem remaining is that saving files doesn't work the way the old version did. I will work on that next.
Stay safe,
Bob

Why don't you take a screen capture of what the workspace looks like. Post it here. Don't forget to tick the box that says (store original)

Screen capture:

open PS and when your screen has the view of PS that you want us to see, simply press the PrtScr key once
then in PS, File, New and press enter
then Ctrl-V to paste image.
then save as a jpg (give it any name and don't forget where you save it - desktop is best to get to it fast.
then upload it here and tick that BOX!

Oh, and to make your workspace go back to something more normal, usually all you have to do is click down on that workspace thing in the upper right corner as in my screenshot and select any one of the choices offered. Try them all.
