Photoshop 2017 process multiple RAW

Am I missing something or did Camera RAW in Photoshop 2017 lost ability to open and edit multiple images at once? In previous versions I just drag bunch of raw files in PS and all of them opened in one CR windows with slider on left side, now when I open bunch of file like this I must edit one after another and only after I'm done with one it let me open another.

Is there option for this or is this really new "feature" because if it is then I'm going back to 2016 because it really breaks my workflow...

What I see different between my screen capture and your is I'm dropping the cr2 files onto Photoshop window and your not.  Looks like your dropping them onto some workspace window like start or recent files.  Try dropping them onto Photoshop main window.

I just tried what you did it work like you show. So do not drop files onto the start workspace. If you drop then onto the start workspace it doeo one afte the other it you clock done in acr.

On my Windows 10 workstation. I opened Photoshop CC 2017 used menu Help>System Info.  Used Alt+PrntScrn to copy to clipboard.  Opened a net document Clipboard size and pasted the info in.  Opened windows file explored selected 6 raw files and dragged and dropped on CC 2017. ACR Opened I selected all thumbnails and clicked open images.  During this process I captured some screen captures. Here is what I captured. Sliders have always been on the right on my machine. The thumbnails on the left when more than one Raw file is opened.

Sorry I probably didn't use proper words for my issue.

I check and I'm running same version as you.

But when I grab multiple .cr2 files from windows explorer (or use file -> open) it opens CR but with only one file at the time - I'm missing the left thumbnail slider of images.

Please take look I hope that will better show what is my problem...

I drag two files into PS but I don't get CR with two thumbnails on left side, but instead only one image and after I close that one It gives me next one....
