Updated to most recent LRC yesterday. I can’t import any images at all due to an Assisted Culling pop-up demo that stops access to everything. I’ve tried the tips recommended without success. Is there a solution as I’m unable to use LRC?

Using a new Windows PC. LRC ran perfectly well until I installed the latest update. From that moment the Assisted Culling demo pop-up appeared every time I tried to import images. I’ve rebooted many times, used tips to do an action first and tried turning off the assisted culling. I don’t need it or want to use it.

I don’t know what tips you are referring to. Go to the top left of the Library Module and click on the nameplate and a dropdown menu will appear and you need to click on the Pause icon next to Assisted Culling.

Thanks for replying. I’ve managed to pause it and although it came back, I could close the pop-up this time.

Since I’ve updated LRC, there are new features. Once of them is assisted culling. I don’t really need it currently. As soon as I try to import images, a pop-up appears with a demo of assisted culling. Everything is then greyed out and I have to shut-down. How can I import my images without this happening?
