Hi all. Please help, I have tried everything..... When I open LRC it now takes between 5 and 10 minutes to load (Windows 11 pc). Once loaded LRC is fine and I can edit etc.

I ran Norton antivirus clean-up on my C: drive yesterday, and assume it removed a critical file that impacts the time that LRC takes to loads. I restored a catolog backup of LRC, disabled all plug-ins, uninstalled LRC and re-installed but it still takes forever to load. I have enough RAM and Disk space on my PC and external drive (where images are kept), because I was running /loading) LRC with no issues yesterday prior to Norton clean-up. I disabled Norton. Disabled Graphic processor. Ran Optimize catalog. Reset my pc many times. None of these steps solved my issue.

Anyone have ideas? (LRC v 13.3.1 RAW 16.3.1)

If you have buldin a CPU with an internal graphic processor, try to disabling the processor internal graphic card.

Or you're using more than one graphics card in Windows, your high-end card might not be set as the primary card. To disable the lesser of the two cards, use the Device Manager on Windows. In the Device Manager, right-click the card's name and choose Disable.

Another try is to resetting the preferences of Lightroom Classic:

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

https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/preference-file-and-other-file-locations.html

Do you have done a clean installation when you reinstall LR? If no, the follow the steps below:

backup all personal data, like templates, presets, catalog(s) etc.
uninstall everything cc including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html
then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
restart your computer (don't skip this)
reinstall the cc desktop app, https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/desktop-app.html
use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials
restore your personal data.

if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 4 here,

Oh, and I should have asked:

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.
