LRC stopping dead

Question

I'm trying to recover from a pc disaster and have reconnected by catalog to the source image files.

But now, I'm finding that in many cases, there are no previews in my library.

I've verified that the source image files are good, but even when I:
LIBRARY>previews>build standard previews

LRC now and then freezes up

To perplex me further, in Task manager, I'm not seeing a LRC process! and yet, it's open and I'm using it.

What's up with all this?

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

If Lightroom doesn't start correctly the please see "Solution 2" in the document behind the second link.

Another step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:
