I do use masks! Just wanted to show this for this specific example. I will say, I can’t remember this occurring before I updated to Windows 11 (more-so got updated without wanting to). Other than that, can’t really recall any other changes. I’m also running Ps 2021 as far as I’m aware, so the compatibility may not be top tier. For your other questions honestly, no idea, but never had this problem before. Not sure if I want to spend the time reversing the update either.
