How to Turn Off Lens Corrections on Import

It seems ever since I updated Lightroom Classic to v10.3, Lens Profile Correction and Remove Chromatic Aberration are automatically applied upon import. I've searched and tried chaging the Raw Defaults in Preferences to Camera Defaults and Adobe Default, and both still apply these two settings upon Import. Does anyone know how disable this? I prefer uploading my RAW files without any settings applied during import.

The Canon RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM is one of the few RF lenses that Adobe has a matching lens profile. So it's not using a built-in lens profile with this specific Canon RF lens. The best solution is to create a Develop preset that only has the Lens Corrections selected and Enable Profile Corrections unchecked in the raw file when you create it. Then follow the below instructions to change the Raw Defaults using a preset. This will effectively turn off all lens corrections on future imports.

The problem I have is:

YES, I want the Leica M10-R profile to be applied at import instead of Adobe Standard = retain the Camera Settings ;

BUT NOT the (made by Adobe) lens profile as it applies changes in the geometry (e.g. pincushion correction where it does not bother me or even is invisible).

Just to add: have Macos. Did "Presets tab, click Show Develop Presets tab" this shows:

a file of 'lens profiles' with pscache.dat at 2.7MB. No .XML (that I would be scary to edit).

I did make an import profiel that is sjhown as .xml. And on clicking, even if I say, open with TextEditor, it opens Adobe Elements.

Go to Preferences, click the Presets tab, click Show Develop Presets tab. This opens a finder window with some files. Open the Basic Defaults.xmp file, which is just a text file in your favorite text editor. Find the line with the lens profile setting and turn it off there.

I have my Raw Defaults Lens Profile Corrections set for Distortion 0 and Vignetting 75. I only change those settings on image files that exhibit "visible" distortion or vignetting. See why at the below post. Remove Chromatic Aberration can be left checked as I have yet to see any detrimental efects to date (2007-2021) with ANY image file.

This seems to be the only solution. I don't know why this changed with the update, I just wish I could import my files untouched from the camera and I control what changes I want to make to the RAW files. I wish Adobe would just make an option to apply lens corrections upon import instead of assuming people just want them applied on every import.

If you are experiencing the Built-in lens profile applied as displayed in the screen capture then that is a profile that has been created by your camera manufacturer. Most likely you are using a mirrorless camera model, the profile will be applied automatically by LrC at import and there is no option for you to turn it off. this applies to the majority of mirroless camera models.
