Cannot Import Photos into Lightroom since last update

I am having problems importing photos in to lightroom from my computer's hard drive, since I upgraded to the latest version of lightroom last night. I use a Windows PC.

When I go to the import feature, and select any folder which has photos in (including locations I have previously imported from), the photos do not appear and the space where they should appear remains grey and blank. I have checked and the photos are definitely in that location!

Therefore I am unable to import any new photos - has anyone else had this problem or know how to help??

Can you post a screen clip to show us the 'grey' import previews?

My best guess is that your monitor profile is not working correctly.

Have a read of this forum link which reports similar problems, and some suggestions-

Photos appear as gray blocks in Library but not in the Develop bar. Both preview pane is gray blocks as well. | Photosho…

If the 'Import' previews are just darkened (not fully grey) then that indicates the photos are already referenced in the Lightroom catalog and will not import a second time.
