Lightroom freezes every 20 seconds

Question

I can start the app, but it instantly freezes for about 5–10 seconds. I've tried many different things to fix it. I installed all available updates, disconnected two of my three monitors, and updated everything I could. I also turned graphics support on and off, but it made no difference.

How can I fix this problem?

Hi xByLukas,Thanks for reaching out and sharing your system info. Here are a few quick fixes you can try:1. Switch to NVIDIA Studio Driver (clean install): Game Ready drivers prioritize gaming; Studio drivers are optimized for creative apps. Download the Studio Driver for RTX 5080 from https://adobe.ly/3Tnlv25.2. Set GPU power mode for Lightroom. Open NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings. Add Adobe Lightroom (find lightroom.exe) > Set Power management mode = "Prefer maximum performance". Set Vertical sync = "Off". Apply > restart Lightroom.3. Since you have 3 monitors with mixed resolutions/orientations, disconnect the other two as a test. If freezing stops, let us know.If the above doesn't resolve it, I'd like to escalate this to engineering.Please reply with:Does the freeze occur immediately at launch, or only when browsing/editing photos?A short screen recording showing the freeze patternBest regards,Anshul Saini
