Running Windows 11 and with the latest Lightroom updates installed.
I have a folder on an external drive called Favourites. When viewed from Lightroom, it shows around 2345 images. Just for giggles, I viewed the same Favourites folder, this time from Explorer and it showed 2415 images.
I went back to LR and Import and selected the same Favourites folder and was suddenly faced with 198241 images to import (this is with "Don't Import Selected Duplicates" selected) If I right click an image from this import window and select show in Explorer, it shows the image as being on another drive altogether.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?
Here's my Favourites from Lightroom
Here's my Favourites folder when viewed in Explorer
Here's the Favourites Folder from the Import Window
Here's what I see if I right click an image from the import windows and say Show in Explorer

Do you have "Include Subfolders" checked in the Import dialog box?

Just selected Favourites in the Import window...26,000 and counting. Not resolved.

Please provide the screen captures again, showing the ENTIRE Import dialog window instead of just selected parts of the window. Same for the screen captures of the Explorer window.

You must have two different folders in different spots on your disks with the name Favourites.
In the first screen capture, there are no subfolders inside Favorites (the triangle to the left is made up of dots indicating no subfolders). In the second screen capture of the import dialog box, there is a subfolder.

In the upper left of the import window, it says Photos\My Photos\Favourite + What does the plus refer to?

Include subfolders. Turn that off and the + goes away.
