Hello!
I've been using LR since the beginning and recently I've been facing performance issues, whether it's temporary freezes when handling files in the library or pasting adjustments in the development or importing and exporting images. I use 40Mp Fujifilm cameras and my PC is relatively powerful, with a 4K screen.
Sometimes I'm organizing files in the library, moving them from one folder to another and LR simply freezes, staying several seconds without responding or updating the screen, then it starts working again but it gets slower and slower. When generating previews, it gets very slow to respond, as well as when exporting. Sometimes, navigating the library, the App stop responding or respond slowly and suddenly, responds all at once as my commands got "queued". Sometines it even give me alerts of "Program not responding" before it returns back to life. Other times, It will take a lot of time to export or generate previews and checking taskmanager show it barely using any CPU/GPU poder, like 30% of CPU and I have to quit and fire up again to the App use all processor power again.
All my disks are SSDs and I use separate disks for RAW files, the Catalog/previews and the Adobe Camera RAW cache to get the maximum bandwidth from all disks together. The processor is an i9 13900KF, the video card is an RTX4080S 16Gb and I have 32Gb DDR5 RAM. The SSDs are similar high-performance Samsung 970Evo / WD Black SN850x class disks with agood amount of free space.
When importing, I cannot use the PC as it beguns to be very unresponsive and I have to wait it to import and generate the initial previews. Everything is up to date and the Windows was recently installed as I was trying to troubleshoot the performance issue.
Below is the system report.
