LR 7.4 - Cannot Import Images

In the Import images window (Windows 10), I cannot import images now for some reason. Always worked before but now after selecting images, the Import button is inactive, only Cancel is active. Why now?

    Bob,

    When you say you select the images you want to import, are you actually clicking on the checkbox in the upper left corner of the thumbnail?

    Hi Robertach,

    We're sorry to hear about the import issue with Lightroom Classic CC, could you please let us know if you're getting any error message?

    Also, where are you trying to import the images from?

    Could you please make sure that there are no external devices plugged into the computer and then try importing the images into Lightroom?

    If that does not work then please try creating a new catalog and try importing a few images into it and let us know if it helps.

    Regards,
    Sahil

    I am trying to Import from a folder in my Pictures folder on the HDD. No other devices are plugged into the PC.

    As I do not want to Import all the images from the folder, I select "Uncheck all" and then the Import button goes inactive and even selecting the images I want to Import, the Import button remains inactive.

    I get no error messages.

    Is this a bug?

    Hi robertach,

    We're really sorry for all the trouble. You may try resetting the Lightroom preferences back to defaults and check if that helps.
