Windows 10: My Export User Presets are no longer available since the 9.2 update. The user export presets folder is also empty.
The export windows looks like it's reverted back to the pre batch export version.
All suggestions welcome please. This is a potential disaster.
Another anomoly is that my Nikon NEF files lost their file association. It was easy to correct, but shoudn't have happened.

An hunch not backed up by proof.
In your Presets Panel, click on the +, select Manage, see if they just need to be turned back on.

Hmm, refering to presets to apply during an export, or user created exports

Inquiry, did you perhaps previously store presets with catalog?

Using Windows File Explorer: Have you looked in the folder where Export Presets usually exist?
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Presets\User Presets
"reverted back to the pre batch export version"
Not sure about this!- Your existing default presets are still showing the check-boxes.

SUCCESS!
I unchecked the Store presets with this catalog option, restarted LR and the presets reappeared. It looks as though LR set this option whilst updating itself.
So, interesting point: where are the presets stored? I looked in all the usual places and did a wondows search and found nothing.
I take your point about the checkboxes on the export window.
Thanks for your help.

"a windows search and found nothing."
You will find a comprehensive article that lists the locations for all your Lightoom associated files, here-
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/lightroom-classic-file-locations/
And for Presets (except for Develop Presets that are in a Camera Raw location) you must remember that there is a "Default" location, and a "Store Presets with Catalog" location. This is a choice in the Preferences that you control.

Can someone help me find this solution for Mac? I'm having the same problem with all my edits gone. If I could be pointed to the same box for presets to uncheck?
Thank you!

You would be wise to start a new thread with your question, your post may not receive much attention buried in this thread.
Give this info in your request-
What solution do you seek?
What are your "same problems"?
What "edits are gone"? Gone from where?
What is the "same box" you refer to?
Are you asking about Export Presets or Develop Presets, or something else?
What is your Lightroom-Classic Version number?
What version is your Mac OS?

At LRC v7.3 Develop Presets got modified, the stoped using .lrtemplate and moved to .xmp, AND they got relocated as to service both LRC and ACR, winding up in:
Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings
Win: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings
Note also, directory structure or its use got modified a bit, in that some third party presets if just copied complete with directory structure, could show up under User in the Presets Panel despite actual file location. And that Export folder went away (well, it acts odd if used)
Some links, first a few already covered
Gone missing in Presets Panel (turned off)

I encountered the same problem. This 9.2 update has created so much trouble for us.
I also found that my export presets and print presets are gone too. Thanks to your post and it's following replies, I am able to find it. in the C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Presets\User Presets folder.

Thanks for your input, peeps. Much appreciated.
Is it just me, or is the Windows 10 Adobe User Group site as good as useless these days? It seems to be going from strength to weakness. Sluggish; won't keep me signed in; often freezes after clicking the 'reply' option; terrible non-chronoligical reply structure. It's a similar experience whether I user Chrome or Edge.
Is Adobe losing its way? Discuss!
