P: Lightroom 14.1 & 14.1.1 stops showing metadata after 5 to 10min of work spinning wheel

After updating to LHR classic 14.1.1 LHR stops shwoing metadat in the lybrary module as well as in the developement module (loupe info). 
Closing LHR and deleting the files: ...Helper.Lrdata, ....Previews.Lrdata as well as ....Sync.Lrdata helps, as they are created each time new when starting LHR. 

But after working for about 10min all the metadata disapears again. 

I have installed LRH fresh and reset all settings. Nothings seems to help. 
I have a attached a screenshot but I wonder if that helps - there is just that spinning wheel.  

 

Any suggestions? 

 

P.S. I have a large catalog with about 200.000 photos in it but have had no issues so far. Big Windows PC with plenty of power.

No solution found yet! I have roled back to 14.0.1 and metadata works again.

Hoping version 15. solves the problem.

What about your 14.1.1 catalogue?

Same issue here... No solution found yet, apart from switching back to an older LHR Version. 

I contacted the support team but chatGPT did a better job. However, no solution yet.

Hi John,

 

how did this effect your catalog?

UPDATE: I was tired of the frustration in dealing with this. I decided to load an earlier version of Lightroom (14.0.1). The problem went away.

 

Thank you Adobe for wasting hours of my time by releasing a poorly designed....and supported....update.

@hans-dieterb92500960: "what happens to my synchronisation when I open a new catalog?"

 

Sync with LR Cloud remains enabled on the main catalog and will be disabled for the new test catalog, which is fine for doing a test. The goal is to see if the issue is specific to one catalog or happens on all catalogs.

@hans-dieterb92500960, the spinning wheel in the upper-left corner of the Metadata panel shown in your screenshots does indicate you've got similar symptoms to the others reported in this thread. (There are several other causes of "metadata missing" that we can rule out.)

 

It would be good to narrow down the issue further, since relatively few people have reported this, and Adobe is unlikely to pay much attention unless there is a straightforward way for them to reproduce the problem. Next troubleshooting steps:

 

1. do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running and important LR options that are set.

 

2. Make a new test catalog and import a couple hundred photos into it with the Add option (so the photos don't get copied). Does the problem occur with the test catalog?  If not, that suggests there's something particular about your main catalog.
