LRC to Photoshop .CR3 files opening incorrectly

When opening .CR3 file from within LRC and sending it to Photoshop it bypasses the Raw convertor opening straight into Photoshop. 
I have checked I have latest Raw update, latest LRC and latest PS. 
If I go to the file on the hard drive and open straight to Photoshop it does open the raw convert option.
Any suggestions what I am missing?

This is how it's supposed to work.

 

When opening from LrC, the settings are transferred to ACR which opens it silently into Photoshop. There is no reason to show the ACR interface. The settings are already made in LrC.

 

Remember that LrC and ACR are identical. They share the same processing engine.

But when sending a photo across how does it know for example what exposure\contrast\White Balance etc. I want to apply to a specific image?

You have already made those settings in Lightroom. Those are the settings ACR will use to open the image into Photoshop.
