Previews in Library module not showing Edits in Lightroom Classic 11.4.1 on Windows

 I am editing images in the Develop tab in Lightroom Classic 11.4.1. When I click back to the Library tab, the edits vanish. When I click back to the Develop tab, the edits are there.

I have tried deleting the Preview cache file in the catalog folder but this has not worked.

 

Am I wrong in expecting the previews in 'Library' to show all edits?

Outside of LrC, using your File Browser, navigate to the folder your catalog is in, Look at the "Date Modified" column, Dates for the previes should be same date, and close in termas of time (perhaps a bit older)

 

and within the previews file/folder, a few that should also be current. (looks like I have some old junk, hmm)

I am running the latest version 11.5 under Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (OS Build: 19043.1826).

The catalog is in my Documents folder whilst the images are on a network volume.
I have tried resetting Preferences and disabling the GPU (Nvidia GeForce RTX3080 Ti).
It is still only displaying edits in the Develop tab.

The just released LR 11.5 fixed some bugs with Library previews.  So see if the update to LR 11.5 fixes your issue (do Help > Updates in LR).

Yes, you should see the edits. If resetting preferences doesn't work** what happens if you disable GPU in preferences (Performance)?

Try resetting your Lightroom preferences:

Quit Lightroom Classic.
MacOS: Press and hold the Shift + Option keys.
Windows: Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys.
While holding down the keys, launch Lightroom Classic.
When asked, select "Yes".

Hi,

Which version of Windows are you working on? Is the catalog saved on your computer's local storage or on an external drive? Please try updating Lightroom Classic to the latest version (11.5) to check if that helps.

If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Lightroom using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2JSym5e

Please backup your presets prior to resetting the preferences. Let us know how it goes!
