LRC has become slow to open since yesterday, and freezes when I try to open the print module. Any ideas?

Hi @nickj16382541, Thanks for reaching out! Sorry to hear about your issue.

 

Could you please share more details, such as your system configuration, from Help> System Info> Copy and paste it into a text document and attach it to your response? Since when did you start noticing this issue? Was it after an update to the OS or the Lightroom application, or maybe a change in the hardware setup, like buying a new printer? Is the printer you're using a network printer or one that connects to your computer using a cable?

 

While we wait, you can try these steps and let us know if they change anything.

 

Try optimizing the Catalog: Choose File> Optimize Catalog to optimize the Lightroom Classic catalog when performance slows. Please take a look at this HelpX article for more information on how to Optimize Lightroom performance.

 

Try resetting the Preferences: Quit Lightroom Classic and press and hold the Shift + Alt keys when restarting Lightroom Classic. A corrupted preferences file can cause all sorts of trouble.

 

Let us know how it goes! 

Cheers!
