I finally found a fix for this with the help of adobe support.  Go here:

https://lightroom.adobe.com/

Expand All Photos and look for Sync Issues and Deleted.  I Permanently Deleted a few images that looked suspicious and it kicked off my sync again and everything worked.

Greetings all,

Updates for Adobe Photography products have been released.  The April 2023 updates contain a fix for this issue. 

If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

Thank you for your patience.

As an FYI, someone moved this post to Lightroom Classic. I have moved it back to Lightroom Ecosystem.

guys, wtf, I am paying for that product and there is no support?! is there some other way to contact support? 

For some weeks I have been suffering a repeated problems between two Win11 PCs (Desktop and laptop) both running Lightroom Desktop. What happens is that I edit a batch of images (.CR2 Canon images) on (say) the desktop. Later I review them on the laptop and maybe decide to tweak an image a little more. More and more often, I am presented with "Waiting for settings. This photo is missing updated settings from <name of desktop PC> at <date and time>. Open Lightroom on that device to have edits synced". Sometimes it's the other way round - desktop PC is waiting for edits on laptop.

This will happen even if I have the two PCs next to each other, both with LR running and on the same network. If I (for example) change the rating of an affected image on one PC with both copies of LR running, that change will be synced to the other PC in a minute or two - it works in either direction. However, for that image the edit settings will never be synced again. The only solution I have found is to delete the image, then permanently delete it, on both devices (the deletion will not be synced), then re-import the CR2 and start all over again with it.

I have tried uninstalling Lightroom on both PCs, then removing all traces from the AppData folders and the registry before reinstalling. I always check to ensure syncing is complete before exiting Lightroom. In any case, though, I can see syncing is happening in real time, because changes to flags and ratings are synced almost immediately. Edit settings are not.

I have reached the stage where I only edit using the desktop PC, because I know what will happen if I start using the laptop - it may work for a few images, but soon I will waste an hour of my time getting an image synced. This makes a nonsense of the Adobe Cloud system. Please - what is going on here?
