Library Path: C:\Users\sebas\OneDrive\Imágenes\Lightroom\Lightroom Catalog.lrcat The \OneDrive\ in that path for your catalog location indicates it is on your C drive in a user folder named /Imágenes/ and that the catalog is being automatically synced to your OneDrive folder on the Cloud over at Microsoft. This is primarily due to Microsoft pushing you towards a MS account instead of a local account, and setting certain default user folders as folders to sync to OneDrive.   This cab be problematic, at the least it can degrade LrC performance, and on a bad day,catalog corruption can occur. This is not an absolute statement. Many would not aggree with this.   Also, as it sounds like your LrC try's to open and then crashes, this may not be the issue.   You could however try one experiment. And I may have this a bit wrong, not at a PC to verify, but hold down on the ALT key, and double click on the LrC shortcut to start. You should be presented with a screen inquiring on what catalog to open, but select new catalog, and see what happens.   By the way, you may want to create a new folder for your Lrc catalog, one at root level, named something like /MyLightroom/ or whatever, as to avoid OneDrive.     .     ...

"Library Path: /Users/davidhughes/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Lightroom Catalogue Oct"   Not a MAC user, so lacking direct experience, and it may be questionable if I should put my two cents in, but..   That path to your catalog, does that mean that the catalog is on the cloud?  Or does that indicate that an auto sync to the cloud is occurring? (as in that folder is on the computers drive, but exists at that folder as to support cloud auto sync)If the later, this could be similar to what Windows users sometimes run into when using MS OneDrive. ...

" I didn't make these extra catalogs intentionally, but I see they are named like Catalog 2-v10 and catalog v12-2 as examples, so I'm thinking they might be resulting from various version updates?"   Sound like old catalogs via LrC upgrades. Their should be no reason to import from the old catalogs into the latest if that is the case. You may need to consider if they are in fact old and possibly no longer needed versions.   Be careful.   If you are nervous about deleting them, then perhaps consider moving them to a external hard drive for archive.   Not an Adobe employee, so take the above with caution.   "Running Lightroom classic 13.0.1 "   Understand that LrC before v14 used to create upgraded catalogs in the way you are describing. But at v14 that has changed, instead a copy is created and placed in a folder, and the new upgrade is created with the same name as the previous.  ... View more

Also consider laptops designed for creative use. These laptops are designed for such use as LrC, and other applications. BUT, think very big dollars for them.

Avoid any WOS/CoPilot/ARM Devices  Big trouble running LrC on those. Searching this website on snapdragon will show you the issues that have been ongoing for a couple of years and not resolved. ...

9% free? that would be a huge issue. Consider placing the catalog on another hard drive.   The catalog can take advantage of being on your fastest hard drive. Disadvantage of being on a hard drive lacking free space. The Camera RAW CACHE can take advantage of being on a fast hard drive. At such a low amount of free space it might have issues. The Camera RAW CACHE does not have to be on the same hard drive as the catalog. Some Windows users consider not locating it on the C drive as that might compete for hard drive read/wrights with the Paging file. Tyically a minor issue, unless say your diwn to very little hard drive space. The location for your photos can be any connected hard drive. Their is no advantage for them being on a fast hard drive. Some might locate them on a different hard drive than the catalog if they are looking for free space in the hard drive the catalog is on. Make sure to relocate them via LrC, not via Windows Explorer. you might want to look at hard drive usage while LrC is running, It might be approaching zero during edits. ... View more

Following may have nothing to all to do with your problem, however, Notice that you have some plugin duplicates, or more specifically, older versions. The DXO Pure RAW for example. This might not hurt performance, but, your catalog is a database and may not take kindly to clutter. You may want to consider removing the older copy's. ... View more
