Trouble opening CR in Photoshop 2023. Wait, I'll explain.

Hello fellow digital artists!

I'm a dumdum looking for help.
I'm going to try to cut a very long story short. I literally switched from Photoshop CS5E to Photoshop 2023 yesterday and consequently also downloaded the ACR plugin.
Yikes! The 13-year age gap between the two softwares is surely being felt wholefully.

Alright. So for 13 years with the "old" PS, anytime I'd open an image file or a batch - of any format, this would automatically open the item(s) through CR, then I'd save directly or click "open" to take them to PS.

For some reason, I can't do it with PS 2023, other than the Camera Raw Filter once already loaded in PS.
Not easy doing a search with all those keywords and find my answer.
Can somebody please tell me if there's a way to work the "old school" way I've come to love so much but in the latest version please?
You'd make my life a ton easier!

Thanks in advance,
Sebastien
