Adobe Lightroom Not Loading or Taking Forever

Not really a question. Lightroom on desktop that syncs with Lightroom Mobile is practically useless right now. It continues shows loading screen and won't do much else for so long. A minimum of 10 minutes if not longer to load anything. This was happening prior to updating and is still happening after updating. Currently on Version 9.3.2. Lightroom Classic and my other programs work fine, so I think this is an issue with this particular app.

    Hey, ​@eveya. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Is this a personal or work (IT-managed) machine? Has this started after recent Lightroom or OS updates? Please share the system info from Lightroom from Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

     

    Before going further, you must ensure all the data is backed up locally or in the cloud. You can log on to Lightroom Web (https://adobe.ly/3LUKpiM) to check and confirm everything is synced.

     

    As primary steps, try this:

    • Unplug additional displays & use only one by default.
    • Pause sync temporarily. You can click on the cloud icon in the top-right corner to pause the Sync activity.

     

    Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
