Lightroom classic does not update modified files

Question

Hello, I have made some modifications to some Lightroom files but the old version appears and not the modified one.
If I right-click "show in explorer" the modified file appears but it does not read well in Lightroom where the old version of the file appears.

version de lightroom 13.3.1 Camera Raw 16.3.1

Thanks

I have made some modifications to some Lightroom files but the old version appears and not the modified one. Old version appears where? Where are you looking when you see the old version? Are you looking in LrC, or some other program, or Windows Explorer, or something else? If I right-click "show in explorer" the modified file appears but it does not read well in Lightroom where the old version of the file appears. This requires more explanation. Did you export the file? Are you looking at the exported file? If you did not export the file, then what you said is impossible, LrC does not modify the image part of the original version of the file, and so Explorer cannot show you the modified file.

What 'modification' are you talking about and how did you do that? Lightroom does not modify the original file, but saves all its edits as a kind of 'to do list' in the catalog, so apparently you modified these files using another app? Lightroom won't see those modifications if they are metadata, for example. You would have to use 'Read metadata from files' to make Lightroom see them, but that will whipe out all Lightroom edits and added metadata...
