LRC uses 100% of system drive while editing - makes it unsable. What to do?
No idea if this post should go to discussion, or bugs - for me it's a bug and a serious one.
Any advice is appriciated - as I'm loosing faith in LRC 😞
First the tech specs of my hardware:
Windows 11
Ryzen 9 7950x
Radeon RX 7900xt
32GB RAM DDR5
System drive NvME 256GB Kingston - where LRC and PS are installed. about 70GB free disk space (new firmware installed)
Drive for RAW files, cache (20GB), and catalogue SSD 2TB.
All options of performance tab using GPU checked for full support.
LRC always at latest version - but the issue persists for several months already - so version doesn't change anything.
Now the issue. It happens while editing in develop tab - usually when mooving sliders, or switching to next / previous photo. While doing any of theese actions, system drive gets 100% usage for about 1-2s and LRC freezes for that second or 2. Then LRC performs action (ex. changes the photo), and unfreezes. But when I change photo again, or move ex. exp slider / highlight or any other it freezes again with 100% usage.
What is interresting is task manager indicates some writing process that takes 100% of disk usage - but for no particular reason. Never happens in LRC idle - only when doing some editing / sliders movement.
The drive doesn't do ANY other problems, system runs smoothly, all other software as well. Only LRC makes the issue. LRC takes up to 7GB of RAM, but still there is 20GB free by the statics.
Sometimes, the editing can go without freezing for 1h straight, but sometimes after fresh reboot it freezes almost while doing first edit. No rule at all.
It is obvious, that it's LRC doing some process on the drive it is installed at - but why at all, if catalogue, raw files and cache is on another drive that is used at the same time at 5%? Also CPU and GPU usage at the freeze moment are 20-30%.
I would understand this issue, if my hardware was poor, but it clearly isn't!
I hope someone can help with this issue - otherwise LRC is going to waste basket when subscription ends, as I am sick of not having the option to work without stuttering 😞 It literally drives me mad.
Thx in advance for any suggestions.
