What happened to the LightRoom General Presets???

In one of the latest updates to LR Classic CC, I lost my Lightroom General Presets. There were about 5 of them in there, including "Punch", "Medium Contrast", etc.

All of the presets I have purchased over the years came through the conversion fine, but not those old original lightroom presets. I used them almost all of the time. Anyone know what happened to them? Are they hidden somewhere?

Thanks,

Jim

Punch and Medium Contrast Curve are now in the Classic - General group (a "group" is what LR now calls a folder of presets):

I just received an answer with the solution, and it works. "The legacy presets were hidden by default in 7.5, but can be brought back in the Manage Presets dialog."

Click the plus sign to the right of "Presets." Then click on "Manage Presets" and put checkmarks in as many of the Classic Presets as you want to see.

I have the same issue. The PUNCH preset is one that I use a lot, but when I "upgraded" to the newest version of Lightroom Classic CC (7.5 release) it disappeared. There are no more general presets, and no "classic - general" group. They need to be brought back.
