      Nope.  It still sucks.  Ver 15.2.1 still will not load.  Even after imipletementing every fix I could find for my Win 10 Alienware PC.  If Adobe doesn’t fix this, I am leaving.  Why subscribe when Adobe won’t fix its own mess?

      Hey ​@dawnw0, 

      That sounds incredibly frustrating, especially after you’ve put in the time to try every fix you could find and the app still won’t load. Can you share what steps you’ve taken to try and fix the issue? Are you seeing any error messages?

      Here to help, just need more details.

      Well, 2 things keept me with Lightroom for years: long history @ enormous databases and MIDI controller support. last year I was ready to go and explored alternatives, but and incredibly useful AI remover appeared and it was a game changer. Now, it is broken completely - and DaVinci Resolve included whole LR+PH functionality. So, since I can't use broken AI remover anyway, why should I stay? DaVinci works with physical controllers; and my old database I need so rarely do I can just leave it as is.

      I'm going to test DaVinci Photo editing abilities extensively. Not only me, I believe. so, LR team may have not much time to fix professional tools, before professionals will start to go away everywhere. We have many destinations to depart, depending on particular needs :)
