Hi there,

Sorry to hear that you're getting a bad image error in Lightroom and the application will close following the error.

Which exact version of Lightroom are you using? (Like Lightroom Classic 9.4)

Would you mind checking the steps mentioned in this article https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/bad-image-error-0xc0000020.html and let us know if that helps?

Thanks,

Akash
