I ran the major update of Adobe stuff last night, and afterwards I noticed Nik was gone off my Filter menu. This is on Windows 10, I don't know if Mac versions are affected. However, the restore is easy: just download the latest installer (Nik is all free now!) and install it, and Nik will return, and your presets will all be there.  https://www.google.com/nikcollection/

And if you don't own Nik Efex, it's as free as free gets, so go git it! devil

Paul, like wise here. Had the same thing when I first loaded the "free" Win 10 back then. As the Nik was "free" too maybe they did not like all the "freebies" taking place. I know my hip-national-bank sure liked it........sad

I am still using CS6, so I have not had any issues--yet.

It will be interesting to see what happens with installed applications and drivers when the Anniversary Build of Windows 10 is released in July as some had applications uninstalled after the November 1511 build of Windows 10.

With regard to Nik: Does anyone know if Google will take over updates and bug fixes for the filters? So far, I have not seen anything definitive about this.
