Problems after transferring catalog

Hello,

 

I bought a new m2 drive, reinstalled Windows and also Lightroom Classic. I opened the CATALOG in the new installed LR and everything worked fine.

 

Problem is that all the adjustments on those photos are there, but the AI masks are all gone ( all photos with AI masks has a red dot there and it needs to be updated, sometimes when I update a photo I have to wait a long time – didnt happen with this same PC before ) and when i click on any photo I need to wait for lightroom to load the adjustments and it takes time, CPU goes 100%, sometimes 10 seconds etc. I need to update the whole catalog somehow.

My catalog is 180 GB big. I have 2 TB photos each year, I need some complex solution how to update all of it at once, I cant do it one by one.

 

The build i use :

CPU Ryzen 7 5700XT, 64 GB DDR4, several m.2 SSD 7000MB/s, Radeon RX 6600 12 GB

 

Thanks

Here is the problem recorded on video. It goes like this with every single edited photo.

Perhaps you didn't transfer the .lrcat-data file from the old computer?

It s the same computer. I changed the main hard drive and new install of windows and LR and other programs. I only copied the whole catalog folder to the new drive and then I selected from Lightroom catalog file with the latest date. Don t know what to do else. Here s my "CATALOG" folder looks like. 

 

Should I load other catalog files as well ? Thank you
