Happened on my iMac when I updated to CC2019. CC2018 was still there so I went into CC2018 in Finder > Plugins > Google (this is where the free Nik software is located), copied the folder and pasted it into CC2019 plugins. Works no problem. Hope this helps.
mike, re-installing worked. another person on the photo club fb page reported that her topaz had also disappeared. mine transferred. it's all very inconsistent & annoying. if Adobe can manage some some of the time, why not all all the time!

it's windows. I finally gave up with the copy of the plugin folder, since I couldn't find the older (relevant) one, but I do still have the install exe, and reinstalling seems to have worked. So all is copacetic... at the moment. I realized the latest update gave me a problem when someone frantically posted in a local photo club fb post. I don't know if her issue is NIK or something else, but the update seems to have lost a bunch of her filters. Right now, I seem to be ok.

is there any way to find it & get NIK back into my filters... or anywhere else?

According to the manual, c2 turns off the exposure meter to "reduce battery drain". On my camera it does turn off the meter display but not the top LCD display, which will drain the battery. I always considered this normal behavior but I will be interested in Nikon's response. Did they really give you a quote of $200 to fix this "problem"?
I think the 200 is a base figure. I haven't called yet to find out more detailed information.

possibly when in the bag one of the buttons was continuously being pressed and drained the battery. Happened to me once also.
unfortunately, that isn't (all) what happened... when i leave it on now, it never goes to sleep. I've tried changing the timer value & that doesn't help. But I haven't left it on for a really long time -- guess I should do that just to check if there really isn't a limit any more.

I have the same issue with my D7100. Why do you think it should have a sleep function? Did you ever have it go to sleep? Mine never did. No mention of a sleep function in the user manual. I turn my camera off to prevent battery drain.
welcome, dubblenn! the camera, when working properly, is very clever & goes into sleep/standby after 6s (according to my setting in c2.) i had gotten used to not worrying about turning off the camera after every use, which is a pain when you need to grab it to take a quick shot. I also have had various levers flicked to another position when sticking the camera into its bag, or pulling it out (like the above mentioned lock focus lever.) So not having to worry about the on-off switch was a pleasure. (and I now have to decide if that pleasure is worth $200+ to fix.)

Thanks, Thomas, the battery does seem to be fine if I turn off the camera rather than depending on the sleep function. I'll try another reset & probably do the call to Nikon to see if I can get more info out of that than I did from email contact. But it is looking like a trip to repair.
I'm not (yet) pro, being the world's worst at marketing. But I am eyeing the 750's prices. The 500 might be interesting. But I do need to be careful with the cash. And I guess I may have exposed my 7100 to more heat than it liked. That Badlands canyon was hot! So I guess I'm exposing the camera to pro-like conditions (including 9F this past winter.)
again, thanks for your insight!

So you are having a continuous drain or an occasional flashing light that runs the battery down?
The lock lever should hopefully resolve your focus point issue. Tried that yet?

Hi DaveO, yes the focus lock is taken care of. I'm assuming with no sleep, the battery just drains over time, since it was so dead when I tried to use the camera last week -- after having been left in it's bag for the 2 weeks between the Badlands hike & the local one. I keep wondering why the sleep function has died & what else may be affected.

Sounds like the Lock knob is on L. That will lock the focus point.

ah, yes, thanks, Kozan! At least this problem is user error/ random bumps, etc. I keep hoping the sleep issue is also, but so far it is looking like a real malfunction. But the lack of sleep I can work around, if it doesn't indicate a wider problem.

Since it is a computer, and sometimes computers do funky things, try a reset. Two of the buttons on your camera should have green dots next to them. With the camera on hold them down for around five seconds.
It will change some settings to factory defaults.

thanks for the reminder.... but sadly a reboot didn't help.

ok, so I wasn't as completely detailed... yes, a fresh battery allowed me to take, pix, but didn't fix the sleep/focus problems.

I would like to understand the mechanism before handing the camera (& $200) over to repair. The sleep function has ceased working. I discovered this when I grabbed the camera to take a group pic at a trailhead last week, and found the battery deader than dead. All worked fine the previous week in the Tetons & Badlands. I also discovered yesterday that the (single) focus is frozen in the center. Trying to move it (with the dial directions) doesn't budge it. None of my menu settings were touched .... the camera was not used between the Badlands hike July 5th & the trailhead last week and I flew pre-check so the camera stayed in my carry-on the entire trip home. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be wrong & whether it's something I could tweak to make live-able? The sleep malfunction I could work around by turning off the camera, but I'm wondering if the focus issue indicates a bump, or the Badlands heat, changed a setting or damaged a component.

thanks brucewells, and all! this has been quite a journey of geekie learning. But I think I'm at the end, i.e., resolution point. The problem seems to have been that the monitor does 10 bit UHD & the graphics card(s) only 8 bit. There is no way to update them to 10 bit. But having stumbled onto the monitor setting where I could choose 8 or 'deep color' 10-bit, I set it to 8 bit & now LR seems happy. Now I can work in ease, and have time to determine what future hardware combo I can afford to piece together to get a cool 10 bit. I also know a bit about HDMI vs displayport cables. Btw, I gather Photshop knows about 10-bit, LR doesn't. Maybe by the time I have the full set of hardware, LR will have caught up.
again thanks for all the suggestions! charlotte

Make sure all your video drivers are up to date. If you need help you can contact Adobe via a chat and get help. They took control of my computer on the last big Adobe update and I watched as they updated my video drivers and bada bing, done and done. Works like a charm now.
jeep_daddy, i'll try this route -- i haven't gotten any response form the forum posting. and intel claims they aren't responsible for the driver, but asus claims it's up to date. arrgg! this morning i saw flashing windows & dialog boxes from windows level, too. (but with a reboot, all has been mostly stable.) i'm beginning to wonder if there is a graphics card speed difference, even though intel claims this card supports the same hdmi (2.0) as the monitor.

I'm confused. Are you using Intel's embedded GPU (HD4600) or does you computer have an Nvidia GTX850M and are you using that? Is it possible you have both enabled, as Rgrenader suggested?
my laptop has both the intel HD & the NVIDIA GTX installed. Just how the laptop uses the 2 is outside my knowledge base and how adobe uses them on top of my laptop's usage is hyper space outside for me. I tried unclicking the NVIDIA in LR & that seemed not to make any difference. I was away most of yesterday so I haven't gone through everyone's suggestions, but I did post to the Adobe LR forum and send a msg to LG (finding problems on a weekend is, um, problematic ;-) I will slowly make my way through suggestions & such today. (I took maybe 200 pix yesterday at an event that I need also to work through, but will use DxO for initial processing.)
thanks everyone!
