Adobe Lightroom Classic Freezing Issue

Hello Adobe Community,

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with Adobe Lightroom Classic on my new laptop. After about 1.5 minutes of working in the program, Lightroom suddenly freezes completely. If I wait around 1.5 minutes, the program starts working again as normal, but the freezing continues to happen intermittently.

Here’s a summary of my setup and the troubleshooting steps I’ve already taken:

Laptop: Only a few months old, with specifications that meet and even exceed Lightroom Classic’s requirements.
Software and Drivers: All drivers, including the GPU drivers, are fully up to date.
Troubleshooting steps tried:
- Reinstalled Lightroom Classic multiple times.
- Checked system resources, and everything seems to be performing as expected.
- Adjusted preferences in Lightroom and cleared the cache.

Despite all of this, the freezing issue persists, making it very difficult to work on my projects.

Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I would appreciate any guidance or additional troubleshooting steps.

Thank you in advance!

I have the same problem with LR freezing:
New laptop Velocity Micro 17" 4K
All drivers are up to date
Lightroom v14.0.1
Windows 11 Pro
GPU Nvidia Getforce RTX 4090 laptop
CPU Intel Core i9-14900HX; integrated UHD Graphics
64GB memory
etc, etc...

I have determined the Nvidia GPU is the culprit.
If I turn Nvidia off I don't have a problem with LR (except it's slow)
When Nvidia is on (share or Intel GPU off) LR freezes.

Can you share a screenshot of your LrC /Preferences/Performance

with the GPU option on.

I think this is what you are requesting. However I am disabling the individual GPUs through a BIOS utility.

Lenovo Legion pro 5, 6IRX8

so from a Lenovo Web Page:

https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16IRX8

and from that, the CPU could be a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13900HX?

As it may be a 13th Gen Intel CPU, do you ever get "Out of Video memory" errror messages?

Show us the specs for your computer: go to Help->System Info and copy the info there (down to the plug-in information, we don't want and don't use and absolutely hate everything below the plug-in info) and paste it as text into your reply.

Are there specific actions that you peform in LrC when the program freezes? Or does just about anything cause the freeze?

Also, did you do a "clean install"? https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/lightroom-classic-13-0-unstable/m-p/14146649#M338021

Make sure you have turned off the Face Recognition, turned off synchronizing with the cloud and Address Lookup. If you never use these features, please double-check and triple-check that they are off, as they may have been turned on accidentally.
