Question

Lightroom started to freeze and crash my whole computer

Hey,

 

Yesterday, my Lightroom started to freeze and crash my whole computer. I couldn't restart Lightroom without restarting my whole computer, then it would be normal for about 5 minutes and the whole cycle would start again. I've been in contact with 4 different agents and did EVERYTHING, nothing helped. Today one of them wanted access to my computer and told me he would deinstall and reinstall every Adobe product that I have on my laptop. I told him that it would be SUPER important that I still have all my Lightroom presets and edits I previously made. He was kinda impatient with me and told me that that would be the case. After he did what he wanted to do, he told me that everything should work now and that he was going to leave. Me, panicking because I wasn't sure how he knew everything was working again without trying it, asked if I could contact him again if the problem still persists. He said yes, left, I opened Lightroom only to find out that nothing changed and that ALL my presets are gone. I didn't export most of them, so I think they're gone forever. Also, I couldn't contact support anymore because it was already 5.15 pm.

I'm so frustrated. Not sure what to do, I'm a full-time photographer so I rely on Lightroom heavily.

We’ve reviewed the email address you use with this forum and find no crash reports in our system.

 

Did you see a crash dialog?

Do you use a different email address when filling out the crash report?

Was the crash dialog Adobe’s?  Apple’s?

Hi, most of the time I don't fill out crash reports but I can do so next time. I'm not sure if it was Adobe's or Apple's crash report, it shows up when I force quit Lightroom

Okay, I just had to force quit Lightroom again and the crash report that shows up is Apple's.
