Removing Denoise from a large number of files fails

I applied Denoise to 115 files by selecting the files, select Autosync, the clicking the check box on Denoise.  After all files complete Denoise, I again selected the same 115 photos, select Autosync, then uncheck denoise.  The process starts and a status bar appears labeled “Removing Denoise on 115 photos”.  The status bar progresses but after a short time stops.  Checked the photos and find the first 21 have had denoise removed.  Did “Optimize Catalog...” and then restart.  Tried to denoise the remaining 94 photos. Same result as before but this time it denoised another 21 photos before hanging up.  Restart, the did the same process to remove denoise on the remaining 73.  This time it removed denoise from 18 before hanging up.

 

LrC is unable to remove Denoise from the entire set of selected photos.  

 

LrC 15.3, Win11

    Error, it removed denoise from 21, not 18, on the third round.  It continued removing 21 for each of 5 rounds until the sixth round when only 10 were left.  It removed the final 10 without error. 

    The bug reported here is that LrC can only remove denoise from 21 photos at a time (for the 50MP Sony A1m2 photos tested here). The problem of removing denoise from files and recovering the storage space consumed by denoise is more extensive discussion, but there are significant problems beyond being able to remove the denoise from a large block of photos.
