All my Lightroom presets disappeared. As the pictures below show. The Edit-> preferences-> presets, the box is unchecked. The lightroom folder shows that lightroom presets-folder is empty. And there's on the left hand side just preset-menu and nothing underneath. Also by clicking the right hand side of the mouse: the presets are checked.

Is there anything I can do? Thank you for your help!

I had the same problem; my presets and the Preset button just disappeared. Lightroom, user and downloaded presets. After trial and error, I created a new user preset and they all magically reappeared. Go figure!

When you click the + can you create a NEW preset?

Please post the Exact path to where your install of LR is looking for the presets. It should be

C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets\Lightroom Presets.

In your screen shot above the Path seems to be pointing to the C drive but then to a subfolder called Adobe and not to the Users subfolder.

Even the built in presets are gone and I don't think the built in presets are located there so that shouldn't solve the problem.

I wish the built in presets were located there as I would erase about 90% of them. Adobe should give the user a way to get rid of the built in presets as most of them are worthless for many users.

The built in Presets are in the folder path I listed.
