I upgraded to Lightroom Classic CC last week and am having a problem with my presets. I use Sleeklens presets. I can only use one preset at a time, I can’t use multiple presets at the same time. I think they call it stacking.
 
What do you mean you 'can’t use multiple presets at the same time'? Do you mean that after you've applied one preset, applying another one does not do anything? You cannot select several presets at the same time and apply all of them with a single click; you never could do that.
 
When using the old “Lightroom CC” with Sleeklens presets I can stack my presets. I.E. use Base Clean B&W, Darken the Shadows and Sepia.
 
We you pick the 2nd preset, it only uses that preset. I CANT USE MULTIPLE PRESETS.
 
Let me break it down. I pick a preset in the “Grey Essentials” subgroup that changes the photo to B&W. When I try and add Film Grain or Vignette to the same photo, it changes the photo back to color. With the Sleeklens “Grey Essentials” presets you can “stack” 8 preset in the subgroup. Base, Exposure, tone, ect. etc.

With the upgrade I can use one preset within the group.
 
I don't know these presets, but that has probably to do with the new profiles. These presets may need an update, and there seems to be a bug that changes profiles even when the preset does not contain a profile change.

'Stacking' presets has nothing to do with this. All presets can be applied on top of each other ('stacked'), as long as they do not change the same settings.
