Question

Lightroom classic will ONLY CRASH!

Hello all, to say I'm frustrated would be a monumental understatement. I have a very overly capable desktop with 6 core processor, 8g of ram and 2 big graphics cards, with both a SSD and standard HD. GPU graphics off in lightroom(because that messed everything up last update) Its like a bad joke.

Yesterday I was prompted to update lightroom, did the update and opened lightroom, I synced two folders to the cloud that never successfully finished(400 files left) Now everytime after startup, populating my library lightroom will crash, I can't click anything it crashes in about 30sec from opening. After 40+ attempts I do not have a functioning lightroom anymore.

This seriously is beyond unacceptable, I am shooting a client today that will want to review our shoot and select favorites, I will have to do this manually now. Good thing I didn't have a studio shoot that needed tethering today. I see other threads on similar issues, but none that just crash on opening with nothing else. Again and again I am disappointed with adobe software products, Strongly considering switching software because it is my income. A stupid update that included shit I never use left me completely stranded now.

ADOBE stop making these stacking updates that screws tons of other things up. Simply need to release a stable lightroom program that wont change or need updates for people that cant afford using BETA software.

    What EXACT version of Lightroom had you been using prior to this update?

    Forgive me for my ignorance but I am not sure. But I am sure it was the most up to date, until this last most recent update. I use Lightroom multiple times a day sometimes, and at least 5 times a week to my desktop hardwired to fiber internet. I had a bad experience with updating at the beginning of the year and stopped for a while, Then started back up a few months ago. I would really like to roll it back to previous, but not sure how to get that file..

    You really need to provide the EXACT Operating System and LR version details thanks.
