Hey all, recently my lightroom classic (windows) keeps freezing up when I try and bulk export images. 

I havent changed anything so really not sure why it keeps doing it. It's becoming super fustrating as it's slowing me down getting client galleries out 😵🥴

Is it just LrC freezing, and the rest of the computer runs properly? Or does the entire computer freeze and you have to re-start the computer?

 

What version NUMBER of LrC? What version NUMBER of Windows?

In a first step try to reset the preferences of Lightroom Classic:  How to reset Lightroom Classic preferences (adobe.com)

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

Do you get an error message? If yes, please post the message word-by-word.

 

Is your system up-to-date? Do you have installed all recent updates and patches for the operating system and the device drivers, especially the graphic driver. If you have a NVidia graphic card installed, make sure that you are using the recent Studio version of the driver, not the Game Ready version.

Please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the LrC Help > System Info menu item. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI
