GDI Handle Leak in Windows

[Kurt Hutchinson]

So many versions later, I think Lightroom Classic 14.x has a GDI handle leak still. I also have a machine with 128GB of ram, and amd finding that eventually Windows grounds to a halt with Lightroom classic open, where opening any other window fails, or eventually just stalls out. I opened a ticket with Adobe and it was suggested I upgrade my GPU (which in 2024 is nearly impossible RTX4080 already)

I started searching GDI handles leak and it lead me here.

Hey, curriedchicken! 

I have moved this thread to a new one since you posted it in an old thread. 

Does your catalog sync? Please share the Lightroom system info from Help > System info > Copy & paste into this reply. This will help us better understand the issue. 

Thanks,
