That’s not the same thing. Quit out of Photoshop, hold down Alt+Ctrl+Shift while starting Photoshop up. You should get a dialog asking if you want to reset Prefs to their defaults.

Make sure any custom Actions, Brushes,. Styles, etc. you may have made or downloaded are Saved first or you may lose them.

Hope it works.

Reinstalling often fixes nothing as the old Preferences are carried over.
