Photoshop 2023 screen rendering too dark.

Can anyone help me with this one. I've realised that the screen rendering is all amiss on my (new) PS 2023 - the blacks are inky solid, and the photographs have a granular sharpness. I thought my screen calibration was off, but after a day struggling with a Color Munki calibration thingy that seems to have suddenly stopped working, I've realised that the issue is only with PS - I can open a photo in any other non-Adobe programme, and it looks fine.
 
I'll check tomorrow, Martin. I've still got CS6 at home, CC at work. Whatever they are, I assume they'll be default.

I'm not loving it so far. I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be implicated in the fact that since I've loaded it, Color Munki has also stopped working. It's still fine on my home setup.
 
Martin, I've had a look and even changed the settings, but the issue remains. It is defaulted to 'North American General Purpose 2' and RGB is sRGB with some numbers and letters after it, and intent is set to Relative Colormetric.

However, I've looked at Ian's most recent post on the forum this morning, and the blacks are rendering the same - solid and inky - so I've got a screen calibration issue. Since loading PS CC2023 a couple of weeks ago it seems to have reverted to the state that it was in just prior to my last calibration only a few days beforehand. The problem is, as mentioned upstream, that my colormunki display no longer works on the PC in question, though it is absolutely fine on my machine at home - I ran a calibration this morning just to be sure.

I am currently, therefore, somewhat boogered.
 
Ian, that's very kind. I've got a case running at the moment with Calibrite, who have aquired X-Rite, in the hope of getting my display calibration device sorted out and working again. Once (if) that's done, I'll see how things look. Apart from the calibration issues, I'm struggling to get Nik working properly. I now have the panel showing, but it will only run 'universal' adjustments - it won't allow me to paint selected areas with the changes.

OK @Toby Webster if you want me to get Nik working for you, just shout out, I'm more than happy to do it for you.
 
Oh, you can't, but I've never felt the need to. Were I to go all the way back to the Raw file, it would be because I wanted to completely reprocess the photo from the beginning. Ive probably done it a couple of times.
