LRC Memory leak on M1 Machines

I have a new iMac with M1 and 16gb. Lightroom classic is also causing the memory leakage problem. I'm attempting to sync Classic with cc and I can only go for 20 to 30 minutes without getting the out of memory message. Disappointing that U can't properly run LrC  on a new computer, clean install etc. I am seriously considering going to ON1 or another alternative. By the way the June 13 update obviously didn't fix the problem.

 

Moved from Lr Eco to. Lr Classic (Mod)

    Create a new user login on your computer. Open Classic in that login and see if the problem persists. There are some settings such as changing the colors on the mouse pointer that can cause the memory leak issue. Those settings often migrate with your account. Most of these problems have been fixed in the latest Big Sur and Ventura releases and you really should not see any memory leaks anymore because of this.

    Another issue is plugins in Classic. There are a few that cause the memory leak issue that haven't been updated and might also tag along if you have these. Check your Classic plugins and disable any third party ones. One particluar one I remember is mylio or something like that.

    If the problem only shows up when you enable syncing in Classic perhaps the problem is a an image or video that is tripping something up.
