Problem with the Slideshow module in LR Classic Ver 11.2

Ranjisha,

Are you using videos in the slide show as well? --- NO, I do not deal with video files in LR at all

Did you try using all the images in the same orientation (all landscape or all portrait)?  ---YES,

     tried to create a two (2) image slideshow, native format of included files are TIF

Did you try resetting Lightroom Classic preferences back to default?  --- YES, Problem persists.

Even though I do not have video files in the attempted slideshow, I followed the directions to delete the folders

    containing the DynamicLinkMediaServer and DynamicLinkManager components.

I am attaching below some files they may be useful. These include screeshots of what Task Manager is reporting at various points in the attempted try(s) above, a screenshot of LR running as it attempted to create the failed slidewhow, and I am sending again, the specs of the system I am using. I wanted to send a dump (.dmp) file created during a failed attempt, but the  "dmp" fomat is not a supported file to attach (I could send it as plain text). 

LR Classic was  relaunched and Windows restarted at appropriate points in the above work. As I mentioned earlier, this problem started with the installation of Ver. 11.2 of LR Classic. The rest of this new version is performing normally as far as I know (at least in the Library and Develop modules). While I do not use Slideshow frequently, it is annoying that a module that has functinally changed little through many previous releases and many years. I have been a LR user for a long time, first acquiring the application well before the 'subscription'  approach to licensing began. Any help would be appreciated. As an aside, I am a former software engineer and tester, and will be happy to assist in any way I can. I next plan to install a previous version of LR Classic and see if the problem disappears. 

Best regards, 

Jim Craner
