Lightroon Classic trouble with the "select a source" window constantly and randomly popping up.

 

 

This happens randomly and very frequently when:

  • I move mouse across the page
  • I chose the crop tool when in Develop module
  • Or I am simply working in LR

 

All updates complete and running LR Classic 11.5 (this has been happening for months with previous versions as well)

When I close LR I get this message even though I have previously closed the “select a source” window

My computer specs:

Windows 10 PC with

 

This is becoming so frustrating. I appreciate any help.

Check your Preferences in the 'General' tab-

Be sure this one is NOT checked.

It may be that LrC is randomly detecting an external drive or a USB stick, and so initialising the Import dialog.
