Question

Preview will not load

So about half my images (~20.000) suddenly lost their previews and they will not load on their own.

I can select an image and the it'll show, but besides that it's all greyed out boxes. 

I have looked through solutions of people having a similar issue and they have not worked.

 

I have tried to simply rebuild previews (it then processeds to process new previews for a few hours but nothing actually happens, despite it taking a fair bit of CPU usage).

I have deleted the "Previews.lrdata" file and build previes.
I have moved all images to a new catalog, but that in a new place on another harddrive and attempted to build new previews there. 

All for naught. 

 

If someone have some suggestions it would be appreciated.

 

It's on windows 11.

And it looks like this. I know the little 3 dots is supposed to mean the preview is loading, but it is not give it 5 minutes or 5 hours no more previews will load.

Oh, and newly imported images will get a preview.
