3D LUD files don't stay loaded; must be manually added each time

Question

I've downloaded several 3D Lut files for the Color Lookup feature, and some of the older ones are still in there, but now, any time I add new ones, I have to manually load them every time instead of them being in the dropdown list. I've restarted Photoshop and the computer but nothing works. I've put the .CUBE files into the Adobe Photoshop 2023 folder in C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2023/Presets/3DLUTs. There is no Adobe Photoshop 2024 folder, even though that's the current version I'm using. I tried to create one (this is my computer so I have full administrative rights), but after doing so, it just vanishes and can't seen. How do I get these .CUBE files to stay in the dropdown list so I don't have to manually load them one by one?

@creative explorer 3D Luts are not part of the removed 3D rendering functionality. Only the name (3D) is shared.

@TenderWolf1987 If you are using the current version of Photoshop (v26.2) then the folder you are looking for is C: > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop 2025 > Presets > 3DLUTs

You will need to restart Photoshop after adding a LUT there. I've just tested it and it works.
