Possible solution for slow operation (Windows)

Forget all the optimizations that Adobe proposes. Nothing helps! If your Lightroom is absolutely slow then take a look at the task manager. There you can see that Lightroom only accesses a single processor! Things get slow with single core!

 

What do we do under Win 11?

 

MSCONFIG -> START tab -> Advanced options Specify the number of processors in your CPU.

 

Restart! Now, Lightroom is running fast again.

 

You can reset the option to default if you uncheck “manually specify the processors”.

 

Good luck!

Yeah, unsupportable sweeping statements always help.

 

This might have fixed your machine, but that's just an indication that there was someting wrong with it before LightRoom arrived on it.

 

As D Fosse points out (clearly enough not to warrant or need the "WTF?" from you) the normal state of affairs is what his screenshoot demonstrates, and whatever weirdness is confronting you is your weirdness.

I don't know how you got Lr to use only one core, but this is what I see under normal operation:

No it isn't. It's a badly configured PC.
