Error after transferring to a new co There was an unknown error while writing metadata to this photo

After transferring lightroom to a new computer, I get and exclamation mark on the thumbnail of all my photos. When I click on the exclamation mark a confirm dialog box appears showing:

“There was an unknown error while writing metadata to this photo”.

And two options: Import Settings from Disk and Retry Metadata Export.

If I click on “import setting from disk”.

All this does is change the Metadata status from “unknown” to “Up to date” in the Metadata panel. But in doing this it also removes the info from my metadata preset with my contact information and the import preset setting and the adjustments from the develop module.

If I click on “Retry metadata export”. Doing this updates the Metadata status to “Up to date”, and although it does not alter any setting, it does create an xmp sidecar file, which I don’t want.

How can I remove this annoying warning on all my files without changing any of my other settings, such as develop, import presets and not have to change every folder and file in individually my large collection of folders and images?

System information:

Old computer running Windows 10

New computer running Windows 11

When Lightroom was transferred to the new computer both computers were running 13.5.1 version of Lightroom. I updated the new computer today to run version 14 of Lightroom, but the issue persists.

The files I transferred to the computer along with all the photos are:

Helper.Irdata

Previews.Irdata

Smart Previews.Irdata

Sync.Irdata

Ircat-data

Lightroom Catalog
