Lightroom CC 12.1 on Windows 10 not working.

when i click the import button, it loads and loads then says (not responding) and sits like that forever. (this is even before you pick what images you want to open)

I have updated to the newest vision, my computer is updated to this newest vision, i have restarted everything, and opened a new CAT and it still does the same thing.  please help! i have a wedding to edit!

In the import, is this a Copy, or an Add, if Copy, does Add behave?

In a first step try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

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

If this doesn't help 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.
