I am having issues with masking since updating to latest version of LR classic (15.2.1)

When I click on some of the masking tools such as sky or background, LR appears to start working on it, blue circle spins, but then it just stops and doesn’t mask anything. Brush masking seems to be OK. I have updated my Graphics drivers to latest version as well (NVidia GeForce 2070 Super) but this hasn’t made a difference. Sometimes, restarting LRC will sort it, other times, I have to fully reboot my PC. This has never been an issue before prior to installing latest LRC. Happens quite frequently. Thanks.

You’ve currently got the latest Nvidia Studio driver. Try an older driver from several months ago, say from Dec 4:

When installing it, be sure to check the “clean install” option.

Nvidia’s pretty good about not introducing new bugs in recent drivers for particular GPUs, but it does happen infrequently, so worth checking.

Please be kind enough to tell us the version NUMBER of your GPU driver. Words like “latest” really are not helpful.

Also, when this happens, are there many masks on a photo? If so, how many? Or does this even happen when you do the first mask on the photo?

Thanks for the response, my NVidia driver version is 595.79 (Mar 2026) This was happening on my previous driver version though, I updated it to see if that resolved the issue. The issue started after installing LRC 15.2.1. It happens even on the first mask, so new picture with no edits, click masking - background, it comes up with the ‘Detecting’ box briefly, then just disappears. Thanks.
