Question

Can't import to Lightroom Classic

I'm not able to import from my Olympus OM-D5 m3 camera into lightroom classic. The photos load into the import screen OK, but then lightroom crashes and I have to close it. I am able to import from my camera into the Olympus Workspace app. From there I can import into LR Classic. I believe this began happening after the latest lightroom update. I've tried rebuilding the catalog and creating a new catalog. There are other fixes I've tried but nothing has worked for me so far

 

My System is:
Windows 11 Home
Intel Ultra9 2.3GHz
Ram 32 G
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU

Here's the settings from lightroom:

Is there an error message? If so tell us the exact word-for-word unedited error message. If no message, check the crash report https://www.solveyourtech.com/how-to-check-crash-logs-windows-11-a-step-by-step-guide-for-users/

There isn't really an error message.  Just a message from windows saying that lightroom isn't responding.  But here is the log from Windows:

OK, I figured out my problem.  When I import from the camera, I have always chosen "F: \(camera or card reader)".  However, there is also a chose for USB Drive (F:).  When I expand that there is a DCIM folder.  When I selected that the import worked as it always has.  Thanks to anyone who took a look at my situation, I feel like I should have figured it out a long time ago

In that import attempt, are their any videos in the source folder?

No videos.  All raw photos
