Hi

I am using Lightroom classic Ver 13.3.1 and it is really slow to start when opening, around 2 minutes before the screen is functional. I am using a 17 inch HP laptop 8 months old ,it has 32gig of ram terabyte hard drive (SSD) and Intel iris XE is there any way of sppeding lightroom up, once it is running it is fine but just getting to the start screen takes an age. I have also noticed that if you move to the top menu,s it is slow. EG Preferences. I have used it with the graphic card enable and disabled no difference.

Using photoshop is fast and I have other Photo progs and they run very fast but lightroom is a total pain.

Any help will be really appreciated, thanks

1. Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

2. And an additional inquiry. The hard drive your catalog is on, how much free space in percent, And I do mean %. Looking for at least 20% free, some say 25% free.

P.S.

Using photoshop is fast and I have other Photo progs and they run very fast but lightroom is a total pain

LrC is a known resource hog, PS is not. Comparing LrC performance to PS performance is of no value. It is like comparing the most demanding 3D game to playing solitaire
