New problems after updating to 14.2 - High disk usage, export doesn't work

Question

After updating to 14.2 I have new problems with Lightroom Classic. Again! This time Lightroom causes continuous high disk usage, even though I am not doing anything. What's more export isn't working! When I try to do export, nothing happens. How to get Lightroom to work again?

And it's not catalog drive, it's my photo storage.

It looks like that after I waited for about 30-40 minutes, Lightroom stopped doing whatever it was doing on the disk and after that it started working normally. It happened right after the latest update. So Adobe, please, if Lightroom has something to process after the update, just add an corresponding progress bar, so users know that they should wait for any process to finish.

Hey, @PagiArt. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic Community. . I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Lightroom from Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

Have you recently updated the OS? If you're on Lightroom - is Sync enabled?

As primary steps, try this:

Unplug additional displays & use only one by default.
Monitor the Task manager for any unexpected read-and-write operations.
Go to Edit > Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor > Set it off if it is on Custom or Auto. If this shows any differences, please check this article to troubleshoot further: https://adobe.ly/3uYiJo4.
