Lightroom 6.0 suddenly became slow and unresponsive

I have been using LR 6.0 for a long time with no objections (I really don't need subscription service).
However last week, with WIN 11 update to 24H2 - it started to be unresponsive ("the program is not responding") or incredibly slow (each mouseclick takes like 10 seconds to get reaction, improting a photo takes more than a minute).

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program.

Is this known issue or is it just Adobe trying to force me to subscription model (they will not succeed though...)

Slow at what tasks? Please be specific.

You're kidding, right?

I so much wish I was kidding.
Slow at:

-when program opens, it takes almost a minute to close the splash screen and display the photos in the directory (usually it took seconds)

-when I click with mouse on a different directory, it takes 30 secunds to change and display pictures from that directory (usually it was instantenious)

-when I click on a picture to develop, it takes a minute

-when I go into develop mode, it takes 30 seconds

-every move of a slider takes 10 to 15 seconds to show the result (all tasks above were done immediatelly)

-etc etc. Every task I give it, it takes too long. And I get "program is not responding" many times when I want some action (for example those listed above).

For example: right now it is syncronizing the folder with 85 new DNG photos for the last 60 minutes. And still hasn't finished.
