Question

Collections > Lightroom Links > Private Link . View on Web - Not Working

Hi,

 

When I Click the View on Web in the Private Link section LRC sends me to a browser window showing the three little dots wait symbol but it hangs there and nothing happens.  The link works fine for public links.

 

I have tried searching to see if there is a fix for this issue but have been unable to find anything similar...

 

I'm running Windows 11 with latest updates for all software through Windows Update / Creative Cloud etc.

 

Any ideas on what to try would be appreciated.

Have you tried using other Web Browsers (eg. Firefox, Microsoft Edge)

You will need set the alternative Web Browser as the 'Default' that opens from the link in LrC.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.4.1, Photoshop 27.8, ACR 18.4, Lightroom 9.4, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

Hi Rob, thanks for the repsonse.

 

The original issue was with Edge. I also tried Edge Beta. The Adobe tech managed to open LR Web using Chrome, but it only lasted until I re-booted.

 

I also have the issue on my laptop, I also connected to wi-fi from my phone's hotspot to confirm it wasn't my internet connection.

 

I have just downloaded and tried Firefox and it worked perfectly....so this was a browser issue.

I realised my issue was with Lightroom Web, not LRC.  I chatted with support and gave the tech access to my PC to try to fix it. He was very helpful, and managed to get LR Web access through Chrome.  Unfortunately the fix only lasted until I re-started Chrome...now back to square 1.
