Hi @candlelmao! Welcome to the Community!

 

When did the crashing start? Did it happen after a recent update? Are you getting any error messages when the app crashes? If you have multiple Adobe accounts, please ensure you're signed in with the one that has an active subscription.

Here's another thing we can try: resetting your preferences.

1. Close Lightroom.

2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.

3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.

4. Close and restart Lightroom.


Hope this helps. Thanks!
