Hi,

I have a problem with the new Lightroom Classic update (and Lightroom as well).
Since updating to v15, when I try to open the program, it doesn't launch, but if I open the task manager, I see the process active and it consumes more and more memory until, a few minutes later, an exception message pops up with the following text: "Exception Processing Message 0xc0000005 - Unexpected parameters".
If I revert to the previous version, it works fine.
I tried uninstalling Creative Cloud and reinstalling it again, but the problem persists.

I do not see that you've installed the update 15.0.1 released earlier today.  Can you install that update using the Clean Install procedure and report back if you are still seeing the issue?

 

Clean Lightroom Install Procedure

Close Lightroom

Restart the computer

Use the Adobe Creative Cloud App to uninstall Lightroom

Restart the computer

Install Lightroom via the Creative Cloud App without launching any other programs.

Restart the computer

Launch Lightroom

Wait 5 minutes
