On the new version of Lightroom after import you can't see the thumbnails of the photos, the only solution is to restart and then you see all the thumbnails what can I do to fix this?

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with Adobe Lightroom Classic version 15.2.

After importing RAW files, the thumbnails do not appear in the Library module. The folder and file count show correctly, but the preview area stays blank.

The only temporary solution is to completely restart Lightroom. After restarting, all thumbnails appear normally.

Here are my system details:

• Lightroom Classic version: 15.2

• Computer: Apple M3 Pro

• Memory: 18GB RAM

• GPU acceleration: Set to Auto

• File type: RAW

• “Generate previews in parallel”: Enabled

• Storage: [internal SSD or external drive – specify if external]

This happens consistently after import. Restarting fixes it every time, but obviously that’s not ideal.

Is this a known bug in 15.2, especially on Apple Silicon (M3 Pro)?
Is there a permanent fix besides restarting the app?

Thanks in advance.
