Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear that Lightroom 6 quits unexpectedly.

 

Which dot release of Lightroom 6 are you using? Note that 6.14 is the latest version.

 

When exactly is Lightroom crashing? Does it crashes while using a specific tool or feature?

 

Here are a couple of troubleshooting steps that you may checkout: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-basic-troubleshooting-fix-most-issues.html

 

Also, we'd suggest that you submit the crash report: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/submit-crash-reports.html

 

Thanks, 

Akash

Hi; I am running stand alone LR6 on my IMAC
running CATALINA 10.15.6 with LR6 6.12. When I click on “updates” within LR  I get no response. It crashes (quit unexpectedly)  when I attempt to close, with or without backup. 
I have 256gb available on the drive with the catalog. My photos are on an external drive  
 
Thanx

Would you mind restoring Lightroom Classic app preferences to default and let us know if the issue still persists? Please refer this article for step by step instructions:
