Lag when masking images

[1_Shot_Media]

Good evening, 

I have a 2022 model Dell XPS. 4k touch screen 1TB SSD, 64GB DDR4 ram laptop. About a week ago when masking heavy, (8 or more masks when editing a car, background and model together) LR CC has begun to make it nearly impossible to complete the editing of my images. It will lag, take forever to render, show "not responding" and do everything but fully crash. I never had this issue up until the most recent update. I'm only at 3% CPU usage, and 30% memory usage when running LR CC, so I feel like there's something going on with the software itself. Does anyone have any insight?

Do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running.

"DirectX: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU (31.0.15.2737)"

That driver is four months old. Install the latest Studio driver 3/21/2023:

The release notes mention that it fixes issues with Adobe applications:

• Adobe application stability issues using 531.18 [4008751]

That did it. Signed up for NVIDIA updates. But that was definitely it. Thanks for the assist!

Glad you got it resolved.
