I’ve had to delete the app from my computer because the new crop feature keeps freezing lightroom and I can’t get it to resolve on its own

    Hey, @Lively_perfection7bae. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. 

    Please share the system info from Lightroom Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

     

    Is this a personal or work (IT-managed) machine? Has this started after recent Lightroom or OS updates? What is the image format of the original files? Does this happen only with the Crop tool?


    Thanks!
