(Win11) Lightroom 5.4 Neue Maske erstellen dauert 4 Minuten

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the trouble with Lightroom. If you can clarify a few things for me, we can get to the bottom of this. Have you recently imported a large batch of images? Does the freeze occur on some specific photos or albums? What is the format of the files you are working on? Are they JPEG or RAW? 

Try the following suggestions and let us know if selections work better.

• Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor > Set it off if it is on Custom or Auto.
• Click on the Cloud icon and pause the sync during your work/edit sessions to stop Lightroom from syncing in the background. Remember to enable sync at the end of the session and let Lightroom finish syncing before you exit the app.

Please update the Graphics driver of your computer from Step 4 on this article:  https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-gpu.html

Once the drivers are updated, go to the following locations

• C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw
• Rename the GPU folder as 'GPU.old' (add .old at the end)
• Restart Lightroom again

If these steps helped, please check the discussion & some very fruitful information shared by johnrellis (Legend): https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-windows-only-select-subject-or-select-sky-unexpected-error-message-quot-something-went-wrong-quot/m-p/12908245#M272337

Let us know how it goes from here,

Thanks!
