Lightroom won't read updated xmp files "metadata from file"

I'm having an issue where I send my photos in a dng format to outsource for editing. When they send me the xmp files back, I drop them in the folder with my raw images. Normally, this always works, but now I try to read the "metadata from file" and it will only update that one image and not all of them. I have all the files selected that I want to update.

 

I've tried restarting my computer, closing out the program and starting it back up but nothing happens. This issue started happening roughly two updates ago, any ideas?

Make sure the menu item Metadata->Show Metadata for Target Photo Only is UNchecked. Also, make sure you have selected all the photos desired to update in the Grid and not the filmstrip.
