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

    I couldn't find any crash reports submitted under the account you're signed in to on the community. If you happen to encounter a crash dialogue, please submit it along with your Adobe ID. Check here for more steps:https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html 

     

    For now, try moving the Catalog folder to the internal drive & check if the issue appears again.

    Also, as a test:

    1 - Create a new catalog by holding the ALT/Opt key at the launch of Lightroom Classic, or go to File > New catalog. 

    2 - Import a few sets of images and check if the issue reappears.

     

    Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
