Lightroom Classic 15.6 – 154 photos stuck on Uploading for several weeks

I am using Lightroom Classic 15.6 on a single PC.

Synchronization has been stuck for several weeks. Lightroom Classic continuously shows 154 photos as Uploading, with no progress.

Most of these photos are unedited originals.

Troubleshooting already performed:

  • Signed out and back into Creative Cloud.

  • Restarted Lightroom Classic and Creative Cloud.

  • Checked Lightroom Web: only one sync issue appears, involving a different TIFF file (IMG_5093-Bewerkt.tif).

  • No All Sync Errors collection exists in the catalog.

  • Generated a Sync Diagnostic Report.

Could you investigate whether this is a known Lightroom Classic 15.6 synchronization issue or an inconsistent cloud synchronization state?

I would like to resolve this without losing my catalog, local originals, edits or existing cloud data.

      Hi ​@Quiki,

      Thanks for reporting this and for detailing the troubleshooting you’ve already performed. I understand your concern about preserving your catalog, originals, edits, and cloud data.

      We’re investigating similar reports of Lightroom Classic sync getting stuck on specific photos.

      Since you’ve already generated a Sync Diagnostic Report, could you please upload the complete ZIP to Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, or a similar service and send me the download link privately via DM?

      Also, could you confirm whether any of the 154 stuck photos contain AI-based edits, such as Denoise, Generative Remove, or AI Masking?

      For now, please avoid rebuilding sync data or resetting your cloud library. We’d like to examine the existing sync state first.

      This will help us determine whether your issue matches the other reports or requires a separate investigation.

      Thanks for your patience!

      Best,
      Anshul Saini
