In development mode, the screen turns black after a few edits.

Why is it that in my development mode, the thumbnail and the images turn completely black, as if they have disappeared? I’m unable to do anything. When I navigate to the next item, it suddenly applies some kind of edit without me even hovering over any of the presets with my mouse.

It seems there is a issue with your graphic device or the appropriate driver.

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

If it's help see here Troubleshoot GPU issues | Lightroom Classic (adobe.com) and check the different steps.

Another step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

Is your system up-to-date? Do you have installed all recent updates and patches for the operating system and the device drivers, especially the graphic driver. If you have a NVidia graphic card installed, make sure that you are using the recent Studio version of the driver, not the Game Ready version.

Please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the LrC Help > System Info menu item. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.
