CC6 - How to avoid returning to default settings?

My CC6 has changed its behaviour, and I know not why!

Previously, when I opened CC6 it would open with the last-used settings and tools. Now, upon opening, it seems to reset or return to some default settings.

For example, I turn off the Grid (CMD+H or via the View drop-down menu), but now, every time I open CC6, or open an image, the grid is showing.

Also, the same for the Patch Tool, which defaults to the Spot Healing Tool.

I don't seem to be able to find a way to disable this automation. Any ideas?

CC6? Are you talking about Lightroom CC or Photoshop CC, or something else entirely?

Once you have everything set as you want, save it to a Workspace (top right) where it probably now says Essentials. Leave Essentials as the factory default workspace. I create new ones based on what I'm doing, retouching, drawings, etc. etc....That way should you screw up, just go back to essentials.

DO the same thing regardless, CS5, CS6 or CC

True dat. I created one for dual monitors and have my panels set the way I like them. But in a recent CC update, it defaulted back to a workspace called "Start" which confused me at first. It was easily turned off in my preferences so that my Photoshop CC opens with my Dual Screen workspace by default.
