Can't edit or delete photos

I have a problem with Lightroom Classic. I imported photos (RAW-Files) I took with my new camera. At first, I was able to rate them, but now I cannot edit them (see picture). Lightroom won’t let me delete the pictures either, so I can’t reload them into the program. I tried uninstalling Lightroom but it did not solve the problem.

 

In the preview all the pictures I can’t edit have three little dots in the upper right corner. It looks to me as if they would still be loading, but nothing is happening.

I have this problem only with the pictures I took with my new camera (Fuji X-S10). I’m still able to edit the pictures I took with my older camera.

 

The pictures are saved on an external hard drive, but this should not be the problem: I always work like that. I work with a MacBook Pro.

    Please provide the version number of the Lightroom Classic app you are using, also the version number of your macOS. See the screen capture for info.

     Are you able to view the images properly in the Library module? If so in your Lightroom Classic preferences tab turn off GPU acceleration and restart LrC and see if it makes a difference.

    In addition, you can check if the monitor profile is corrupt:

    @Philippe25890902j72i , ok so if turning off the GPU worked for you please indicate what version of macOS you are using?
