Older Nik software collection no longer appears in the filter options in Photoshop cc 2020

My older Nik software which worked in Photoshop CC 2019 no longer appears in the filters in Photoshop CC 2020. How do I get it back?

For Windows you just need to copy the Google folder from this location

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Plug-ins

to this location

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Plug-ins

 

It's working fine for me with Photoshop 2020, old free Nik Collection

I have successfully installed the Google NIK collection (free software) into Photoshop 2020 (V21.0) and it works just fine EXCEPT Silver Efex Pro which will not open.  I just get a message : 'The command "<unknown>" is not currently available.'  It works fine in earlier versions of PS.  Any suggestions?  Windows 10 OS.

Try going into the Nik settings and selecting this option

No, that does not work either.  I had it already set to this option.  This fix stops PS from crashing after editing in NIK.  My problem is that Silver Efex will not open at all.  Thanks for ytour help anyway.

You are sure that the version of your software is compatible with the 2020 version of photoshop?!

Understooded that it may not.

 

Hence, the question here if there is workaround it. 

 

If I'm using latest DXO Nik, the question shall be posted at DXO Forum.

 

Thank you.
