P: crashes on export of JPEG's

Technical Information: Lightroom Classic Version 8.4.1
Operating on an Apple MacBook Pro 2016, 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 With macOS Catalina 10.15

Description: Normally exporting jpeg's as I do, and it crashes for no reason. I have to foce quit the application and hard restart the computer for me to be able to boot Lightroom again. Very strange issue. My friend is having the same issue on his older MacBook. This is incredibly frustrating as I need to export many photos....

    I would agree with Victoria. The symptoms you describe sound like a hardware failure. It might be prudent to have your machine checked out.

    System reboot sounds more like a hardware or low level OS issue.

    That sounds like an Application Hang and not a crash.  If you export to the local drive does it hang?

    Hi Rikk, the crash returns repeatedly when I export to jpg. The first few pictures are exported, and then LR hangs. The access to the external SSD (Samsung) is also stalled and only returns after restart of the computer. There's no crash dialog.

    I do find a single instance of a crash report for your email that you used on this forum.  Have you experienced more than one crash?  Do all of the crashes show an Adobe dialog or are some of the Apple dialogs?

    Ernst, I find no crash reports submitted against the email address with which you're using on this forum. Is your Adobe ID different? Do you receive a crash dialog? Is the dialog Apple's or Adobe's?

    Would it be possible to get your Mac in the non-responsive state and then grab a process sample to send to us?
