Lightroom Spot Removal Visualization

I've been using the spot removal visualization tool for years with great success to remove dust spots from my images. Today, it just seemed to disappear, and I can't seem to find how to get it back !
I can't remember doing anything different, but I just can't find how or where to turn that feature back on... I'm stumped. Anyone know how to get it back or what I did wrong ?

While in the Develop module, hit the "Q" key to turn on the spot removal tool or click it in the tool box, type "T" to show the "Visualize Spots" button at the bottom of the image window and click the box beside it.

You're welcome, the "t" key toggles it on and off. Under the HELP menu click on Develop Module Shortcuts (or use the shortcut Ctr+/) to open a list of keyboard hot key shortcuts to most all features.

Not to stray, but it might be time to have your camera sensor cleaned. If there is a built in program, give it a run. If you don't have one in camera, then use a blower (designed to clean out dust). It might save you a minute or two in pp. Good luck. Love LR too!
