Past 2 days LR is laggy to the point almost unworkable, desktop version

Hi ​@srravi,

Thanks for the additional detail. Since you’re using the Lightroom Desktop (cloud) version and the slowdown seems to be most noticeable around the Remove Tool, I’d like to gather a bit more information before we investigate further.

Could you please share:

• Your full System Info. Lightroom > Help > System Info. Copy & paste it here.

• A short screen recording showing normal editing and then using the Remove Tool, causing the lag/hang.

Also, please let me know if the lag occurs only with the Remove Tool or throughout the app. Does it happen on all photos or only specific files?

A couple of quick tests:

• Turn off GPU from Preferences > Performance and let us know how it goes.
• Temporarily pause sync and check whether performance improves
• Try the same workflow on a newly imported image and let us know if the behavior is the same

This will help us better determine the issue.

Best,
Anshul Saini

I have the desktop cloud based version.
