Custom camera profiles missing from Profile Browser

I regularly make custom camera profiles (.dcp) with a third party software and use them in Develop presets. These profiles always appear in the Profile Browser grouped under a "Profiles" drop down menu. On 2 separate computers, running different versions of LR Classic but logged in as same user, all of the custom profiles that had been loaded and available for use have all gone "missing" from LR. The .dcp files have not been moved or deleted, they still reside in the proper folder location on the computers but LR seems unable to see them. And the "Profiles" drop down menu has completely disappeared from the Profile Browser and from the "Manage Profiles" menu.

I have tried "Importing" the profiles again but get the message that they have already been imported. I tried removing all of the dcp files from the ApplicationSupport--> Adobe --> CameraRaw --> CameraProfiles folder and then Importing them again thru LR Profile Browser, nothing works. I've restarted the computer multiple times and LR and Camera Raw apps are all up to date.

Computer 1 is MacBook Pro M1 Max running OS 12.2 and LR Classic 11.1

Computer 2 is Mac Pro Intel running OS 10.15.7 and LR Classic 9.1

Thanks for any assistance.

I honestly don't know if this is your specific issue but I was searching for an answer to my problem and found a fix for me.

I had recently reinstalled lightroom classic and did not see camera profiles when I clicked on the drop down menu.

After poking around I found that the profiles were there when I clicked the drop down and then "browse"

I could select them indiviually but they where not all showing in the drop down until I went back to browse and favorited each one by clicking the star next to the profile to the right when you hover your cursor in that area.

I hope this helps someone.

Curious if you see the profiles in Camera Raw.

My custom DCP profiles are that folder you speak of:

/Users/~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles

Can't hurt, try resetting your Lightroom preferences:
https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/setting-preferences-lightroom.html

Quit Lightroom Classic.
MacOS: Press and hold the Shift + Option keys.
Windows: Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys.
While holding down the keys, launch Lightroom Classic.
When asked, select "Yes".

Gotta ask: you're selecting a raw of which you have a specific camera profile?

Thank you for the suggestion but it did not fix the issue.

The same problem has also now occured on a third computer in our studio. I tried to work on a PC running Windows Enterprise 10 and at first LR seemed to be working fine, but then I created a new dcp file, placed in the proper folder on the PC and when I restarted LR the Profiles drop down disappeared and all of the profiles are "missing" from LR.
