lightroom classic keeps crashing 'Of course the bigger question is why crashing. But, for starters, as the catalog was not closed properly, the lock file would have not been deleted, have you deleted the errant lock file before trying to start LrC?

Does the import include stills AND videos?   ... View more

I am having issues coming up with a link to reinforce this, but.. Some members have had issues post LrC v14.1 (do I have the ver correct?) when attempting to import photos and videos at the same time. The have to import them separately. And they may even have issues if the source includes both stills and videos even if they only select the stills (some confusion on that)   Apparently not fixed   You might try importing separately (using a separate USB port may have been a coincidence)   P.S. not a MAC user, but on a Windows PC, the various USB ports are not equal,, front ones normally less capable.    ...

Does your home LAN consist of only a WiFi Router? No Ethernet ports? No Ethernet switches? Providing connectivity thru WiFi only? And is that a limitation via NBN? That is assuming your access is via NBN. If the NBN provides only a WiFi router (as in no Ethernet) can you change that out to better?   The moreI search the Internet on Home LAN in Australia, and as a result NBN, the more I see that you should be able to have a nice LAN with proper switches. So why in your case WiFi only?   WiFi is a bottleneck, and the more devices connected, the slower, this sort of activity should be via Ethernet, as Ethernet switches handle that better.       ...

Due to another member having an issue. (Not the same issue) I should inquire. Perhaps open up your computer, and inspect the 8-pin power connector to that GPU. Even though this GPU is not one of those newer very high power units that need special power connectors, nor have a tendency to melt (the power cable) check it for damage.   Yes this is odd, rare, and unlikely But something to inspect and eliminate. ...

  Adobe, please, for the love of god. Fix your freaking software, I am not the only one with these kind of BS problems. Typical example of resting on your laurels. When enough alternatives pop up you will be kindly forgotten.   While your fellow members, including myself, can feel your pain, and feel your anger, Adobe, at least in this community, may not. Be aware that this is a community for Adobe customers to share info, issues, ideas, etc. Oh, I understand that Adobe points customers with issues to this community, but that is Adobe being lazy. Perhaps an Adobe Tech may reply, probably to inquire bout any LrC Crash reports. Perhaps to ask for some steps for diagnostics to occur. But likely not.   At anyrate, perhaps a member can help. To that end can you accomplish the following: _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. SYS INFO   Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.   2. LrC /Preferences/Performance   Please post in a reply a screenshot of your LrC /Preferences/Performance (with the GPU turned back on for now). Interested in anything LrC states about the GPU, ( for a 3080, I would expect no issues) and what you have for Camera RAW CACHE limit   3. Where is performance sucking   Is the performance bad in all modules, or is this mostly in the develop module.   4. Updated all the drivers   Does that include the Motherboard drivers such as the Chipset, oddly the BlueTooth and WiFi (even if not used). And is that via the Motherboards support page (not MS Windows updates)   5. SYNC   Is any sync to the cloud running?   6. Any Network share, network server, or Cloud (for catalog)   This should show up in item 1, but you are not perhaps keeping your catalog on the Cloud or other share? And you are not auto syncing to the Cloud (as in OneDrive) Correct?   7. Z890 Tomahawk   Is this a MSI Motherboard, Searching on the Internet indicates as much. As such, it may have  come with MSI Afterburner. Is that the case, is that running?   MIS AI Boost (for the NPU??) so the NPU gets overclocked/bosted. That may be fine for games, this appears to be a game centri MB afterall, but does that foul LrC up. LrC in the past has been a pain as overclocking is involved. Perhaps turn that off. ___________________________________________________________________________   Some postings to look at:   https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/very-very-high-cpu-usage-since-version-13-now-using-14-0-1/m-p/15015576?linkId=100000317278828#M388848   Some Links:   https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-Z890-TOMAHAWK-WIFI/support#driver     ...
