Why does "Edit in Photoshop" make my Lightroom image look brighter?

When I use Lightroom’s Edit in Photoshop command, the image appears brighter in Photoshop. If I save it without making any edits, the returned file in Lightroom keeps that extra brightness.
This started only a few days ago. I’ve also noticed that the usual prompt asking whether to edit the original, a copy, or a copy with Lightroom adjustments no longer appears.
Is there a setting that could cause both issues, and how can I restore the normal behavior?

The first thing I would try is to reset all of your Lightroom preferences. You might have clicked a checkbox or button on a popup that "remembers your setting for next time" that is causing this. You can reset this by going here:
Preferences> General> "Reset all warning dialogs" Button

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
A likely cause is that a Lightroom warning/dialog was dismissed with a “don’t show again” option, which can also affect how the Edit in Photoshop workflow behaves.
Try resetting Lightroom’s dialog preferences:
Preferences > General > Reset all warning dialogs
That should restore prompts such as the choice to edit the original, a copy, or a copy with Lightroom adjustments. If a remembered setting is causing the unexpected Photoshop handoff, resetting those dialogs is the first thing to try.
Since your Lightroom edits are otherwise appearing in Photoshop, this sounds more like a workflow/preferences issue than Lightroom failing to pass adjustments across.
