P: Update Publish Collection Stalls

OK, now I'm REALLY in trouble! If I quit LR normally, the incessant writing to the Drobo stopped, and when I started LR it would start again. So I tried a FORCE QUIT and the Drobo keeps being written to. Starting LR again doesn't stop anything. And the box that shows and gallery update going on isn't there.

HELP!!!??? I'll uninstall LR again...

I used the red X before I figured out what was going on and reverted to 11.1. Maybe there is some process still lurking. I thought a reboot would fix it but after I boot, the Drobo won't mount. It's lights come on and look normal but it's not mounted.

I'm wishing I had never upgraded the computer to a supposedly wonderful new M1 Pro MacBook Pro, aparently with the next brand-new buggy OS! I've been frustrated by bugs for 6 weeks now! (I upgraded the OS to 12.2.1 several days ago. Not sure which came first, that or the LR update.)

My experience with the issue is on an iMac running Catalina - so my
comments reflect working with that OS.

I too had the same situation with LrC v11.2. In my case - whether right or
wrong, I ended up using Force Quit to stop LrC.

When I clicked on the X in the Publishing Collection bar, it turned red,
but nothing happened other than a message indicating it was cancelling the
process. For me the (cancelling process) never finished properly and
appeared to be hung. At this point I used Force Quit which would be like
stopping the process in Windows using Task Manager.

Yes this is an abrupt action, but as far as I can tell all is okay because
I've done it a few times without a problem.

Like others, I have reverted back to v11.1 and all is okay for now.

I have the same issue with LrC 11.2 and publishing to Smugmug. I reverted to 11.1 and still have it! The Drobo (external file storage) is still writing contantly!!! (That was triggered in LrC 11.2.) How can I stop it!! Do I have to reset Pref's in addition? Going nuts with this!

To get back to work, uninstall LR 11.2 and re-install 11.1. You can do this
easily from the Adobe Creative Cloud app on your PC.

Yes Same here. Windows 10 and after LR 11.2 update all publish services that are online hangs after 1-2 photos published. If set to publish hard drive to hds publish is ok, but like google drive (online mirrored folders) it hangs.
After restart LR it publish 1-2 photos and hangs.
Reset preferences not helped!
