Lightroom Classic V15.1

Windows 11 Pro

System Info file attached

Lightroom is very slow in many operations. I have seen other posts with the same complaint, but not the specific situation I am seeing.

Any change to a photo flag (e.g., X, U, P) or a photo rating takes 5-7 seconds to complete. It takes approximately the same amount of time whether the command affects one photo or a dozen. But changing a Title or Keywords seems to take place without undue delay.

Advancing to another photo seems close to normal in Grid or Loupe view. However going from Grid View to Loupe view or the Develop Module takes multiple seconds. From Develop back to Grid is slow, but from Loupe to Grid seems normal.

Also, just opening a menu from the menu bar takes 2-5 seconds. I have rebooted my computer, and tried this in 3 different catalogs with the same results. The slowness of these operations makes LrC unusable.

That graphics driver is four months old. Update to the latest Studio driver (not the Game Ready driver) here:

That may not be the cause of your symptoms, but installing the latest graphics driver is always a first step.
