Uninstall and reinstall your plugins.

If the error still persists - double check to make sure there isnt an update for the plugin or if they are even compatible with the latest PS.

Hello
Ty for your reply.

That would be the Nik Collection. I know Google doesn’t release it anymore
it is now DXO I will check for an update or pay for the new one.

Thx again
Phil

Hi Phil, I am suffering the same issue. I have found that copying the 2019 plug-in file across gives me 60% of functionallity but Silver efex won't have it. I think it is compatability and may downgrade my PS if I can't upgrade the nik package.
