NVIDIA Studio Driver 595.79 causes Lightroom Desktop 9.2 to become severely laggy/freezes is fixed by rolling back to 595.71

I am using Lightroom Desktop 9.2 on Windows 11. Immediately after updating to NVIDIA Studio Driver 595.79, Lightroom became extremely laggy during normal editing.

Symptoms:

• Severe lag even without using AI Denoise

• Regular slider adjustments such as Exposure, Temperature, and Highlights become very slow

• Brief freezes occur during or right after slider movements

• The issue occurs with photos stored on both external SSD and internal SSD

• The issue is reproducible across different folders and different photos

Troubleshooting performed:

• Moved files from external SSD to internal SSD: no improvement

• Tested different folders/files: no improvement

• Regenerated Lightroom GPU Config: no improvement

• Rolled back NVIDIA Studio Driver from 595.79 to 595.71: issue resolved

System:

• Lightroom Desktop 9.2 x64

• Windows 11 Home

• Intel Core i7-14700F

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB

• Problematic driver: Studio Driver 595.79

• Working driver: Studio Driver 595.71

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install NVIDIA Studio Driver 595.79

2. Launch Lightroom Desktop 9.2

3. Open a RAW file

4. Move standard editing sliders such as Exposure or Temperature

5. Severe lag/freezing occurs
