Catalog slow and all library pictures have a weird blue filter

I've used lightroom classic for years and it's always seemed to work well.  But today I opened the app with my one and only catalog.  I noticed two problems:

 

  1. Blue tint to all photos in the library module (but not on the develop module).  I have a multi monitor setup so I tried swtiching windows and they both show *only* lightroom having this blue tint.
  2. It's epicly slow.  The program just crawls.

 

I have a fairly nice computer:

11th Gen i9-11900K (I think this was the top processor 3 years ago)

64 gigs ram

RTX3070

 

It appears to only be Lightroom Classic that is happening to.  I optiumized the catalog, reinstalled,  and restarted my computer.  I've gone through the previous "slow" posts but nothing seems to include this weird blue tint.  I uploaded a screenshot of the blue tint. 

I'm trying to rebuild 10 years of world traveling photos after I lost my last catalog and if I can't bring myself to start over again.

Correct answer AtlaHeilig

I reinstalled the creative cloud altogether and that fixed the blue tint. 

It's also running a lot better.  Not exactly like it used to, but enough that I can deal with it.  I wonder if Dells latest update caused the problem.  It's caused problems with a bunch of other programs and windows itself.

I couldn't find a delete button so I just marked a correct answer.

The program just crawls.

 

What version NUMBER of Lightroom Classic? We need the version NUMBER of LrC and not words like "up-to-date" or "latest". Please be specific. What actions/steps in LrC are you trying to do when it "crawls"? What is the NUMBER of the GPU driver installed?

 

Blue tint: sounds like maybe you need to recalibrate your monitor.
