Adjustment Brush - Lightroom 8 Classic Not Working Properly

After updating to Lightroom classic 8, my adjustment brush (in the Develop module) is not working properly.  It requires extreme value movement to show even the slightest difference.... it is essentially not possible to tweak any of the slider controls in the adjustment brush pop up box; even extreme movement of a slider only creates a minor, barely perceptible change -- Help.

Make sure you have the Flow and Density of the brush to high values:

Hi JafTimber,

We're sorry to hear about the adjustment brush not working, have you tried turning off the Graphics processor from the Lightroom preferences? Go to Lightroom > Preferences >Performance tab > Uncheck GPU > Restart Lightroom.

Yes, thank you... this did the trick - for some reason I had to turn off (uncheck) my Graphics processor, exit Lightroom then open LR, recheck the GP, close LR and then when I opened a 3rd time,  it now appears to be working.   Thanks also to those who both suggest Flow and Density - they were set ok

Have you checked that the flow and/or density settings haven't been set to zero or near zero?
