Lightroom Desktop showing constant spinning wheel when opening

I am working on a PC laptop (Dell).  Just today, I've experiencd a similar issue with Lightroom Classic.  In the Develop module, the little circle in the lower right corner of the highlighted photo keeps spinning.  I seem to be able to use tools, but the results of those tools are not visile on the photo.  When I return to the library mode, things are all right, but not in the develop mode.  I have to reboot my computer to get it to work, but then the same issue keeps recurring after a short while. What can I do to sort this out? Thank you.

I was having this exact same issue after updating today. I was so mad because I have four sessions to edit. But I tried Akash's sugggestion of, "Deselecting the option "Use Graphics Processor" located in Lightroom's Preferences > Performance menu, then relaunch the app..." and it was an instant fix. So thankful!

Hi Paul,

Sorry that Lightroom Desktop is not working on your computer as it keeps showing a spinning wheel.

Which exact version of Lightroom Desktop are you using and what is the version of macOS on your computer? 

Would you mind deselecting the option "Use Graphics Processor" located in Lightroom's Preferences > Performance menu, then relaunch the app and let us know if it helps?

If that does not help,  would you mind resetting the Lightroom app preferences to default? Press and hold the Shift + Option + Delete keys.(Mac) or Press and hold the Shift + Alt keys while starting Lightroom. A dialog box should appear asking you restore the preferences.

Thanks,

Akash
