Question

After loading, lightroom crashes and shuts down. An error message comes up which I have sent of adobe. I use Lightroom CC. Any help would be appreciated.

After loading, lightroom crashes and shuts down almost straight away. I have tried numerous times over numerous days however it just keeps happening.   A couple of times it showed an error message which I sent to adobe but no answer from them.  I use Lightroom CC.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi ​@Andrea+Jenkin 

     

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Could you please share the exact error message displayed when Lightroom crashes? If possible, copy and paste the full error text or provide a screenshot. This will help us better understand what's causing the application to close unexpectedly and guide you more effectively. In the meantime, please try resetting Lightroom's preferences:

    • macOS: Press and hold Shift + Option while launching Lightroom.

    • Windows: Press and hold Shift + Alt while launching Lightroom.

    • Once prompted, confirm the preference reset and check whether Lightroom launches successfully afterward.

       

    Please let us know the results, and we'll be happy to assist further.
