Question

LR and LRC freezing

With each upgrade, my LRC and LR freeze for longer and longer. My system is Win 11 with heaps of storage space and 32 RAM. (and yes, I have the latest win updates and the laters drivers)

The freeze happens not when I use graphic, but mostly when I interact with the file system. That is, when I load new photos (from a local drive) when I synch to Adobe cloud, and when I do similar operations like 'view file in Explorer'

 

During this time the system will freeze for many minutes, and then release itself and all will be ok. It happens both with LR and LRC.  And with each update it seems to get worse. 

It freezes itself (LR or LRC) and Microsoft Explorer. That is, if I have another program already open and accessible on the screen I can use it. During the freeze, however, I cannot swith if the program is hidden, not use the bottom Explorer task bar, I cannot open new programs, and I cannot explore my file system. 

 

I installed and uninstalled both LR and LRC numerous time. Adobe help seems not to be able to solve it, as when they remote login and try to do anything the system freezes. 

 

After years of using both programs, they just do not work for me any longer. I have even started using Bridge again for my catalogues, but this is to awkward.  Any ideas?

Wild guess, but do you have folders in Windows with thousands or tens of thousands of photos_

Thank you, but not really. I have a very elaborate folder system, so no folder has more than a few hundreds photos at most. 

 

Also, it used to work well with my filing system, the only things that has changed is updating LR and LRC. I find it strange, but probably it can provide a clue to the expert, that it happens in both LR and LRC
