PS action files not loading

[Dmochowski]

I have searched and read how to locate and add atx files to addon folder and I have done that but when i go to load actions in PS it doesnt show up. I cant find photoshop by going in thos format 

• (Windows) C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop <version>\Presets\Actions

I can only find it by going this PC  to C drive to program files to adobe then PS 2022 and I place the file into the correct folder and nothing. If I go the route of username to aapp data I dont have PS in there just LR and raw and some other things. 

This is bothering me bc I had them there the other day and I wasnt aware I updated PS and now they are missing...

Is "atx" a typo or is that the extension you are using for your action sets? The extension for the sets should be ".atn".

You can load action sets from your Desktop, Downloads, or any other folder. You don't have to put it in the Presets > Actions folder first.

When you save an Action Set, it will go to one of these locations by default: 

• Windows 
  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop <version>\Presets\Actions
• macOS 
  Applications > Adobe Photoshop <version> > Presets >Actions
