Lrc 15.2 Will Not Let Me Create a Mask

I cannot create a Mask since LrC v15.2 installed.

Steps to reproduce: In Develop module, click on Mask icon, select subject nothing happens.

Select object and draw round the subject, the Masks panel briefly appears then disappears but no mask is selected.

Repeated the process on other photos with a very clearly defined subject and had the same result.

I’ve re-installed v15.1.1 and used select subject on the same photo and it worked perfectly.

    Check for driver updates at Nvidia. If there is a choice between Studio and Game Ready drivers for your  GPU, then use the Studio drivers.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I’ve updated graphics driver to latest studio version, re-installed v15.2 and it seems to be working fine now.

    @NJL100 Is it happening with only AI Masks like Subject, etc or the same issue is present with normal ones like Brush, Gradients, etc as well?

    Also post your Lightroom Classic’s System Info.
