Latest update is making LRc run extremely slow

Earlier today, LRc updated (13.3) and Mac updated (Sonoma 14.5).

Now, it's taking 12-16 seconds per action I'm trying to make on ONE image. I.E., I'm cropping down an image - 7-8 seconds to do so.

I uninstalled and re-installed LRc also.

I've also restarted my laptop twice in hopes it would help to no avail.

Is anyone else having the same issue and, if so, how do I correct this?

Also all syncs/optimising already done and still slow. Win11 64gb ram 16tb SSDs Nividoa GTX3080ti. This is a programming/coding bug by Adobe.

Same issue. LR OK before update and very slow / turgid afterwards. Optimising etc having no beneficial effect?

I've had this same issue since updating to V13, adjustments won't save when switching between photos, Copy/Paste takes close to 60 seconds when it used to be instant, sync takes close to 3 minutes for 10 photos.

Went on support with Adobe who remote accessed, deleted every single file on the computer related to Adobe, fresh installed all applications, still same issue. Followed the reccomendations of the tech and started a brand new catalog, imported 300,000 photo into the new catalog and (from what I can tell) as soon as I enabled sync the issue came back.

Currently Lightroom is unusable.

I agree. It's unusable. Thry need to address this immediately as it's impacting professionals' business.

Hey, I had a tech check my machine out and here's what they said. IF You have AVG or NORTON ANTIVIRUS, get rid of it. Just stick with Windows protection. Be sure you have your CUDA drivers installed. Delete your temp files. The main thing is get rid of those two anti-virus and run either Malwarebytes or Windows Protector. Instant change in peformance and so far, LrC and PS both run phenominalaly.

I'm on a Mac, so there's no antivirus software running. It's just super slow on its own. Last night it took 4 minutes (!) to import ONE tiff file... adding in-place and not even copying. It's making my archive a brick.

Same issue. I have a 18 year archive in Lightroom Classic which was running just fine until I updated, now it's pretty much unusable. Changing a star rating on a single image takes several seconds. I logged a ticket with Adobe support who did a screen sharing session, deleted various preference and cache files, and even had me import everything into an entirely new catalog, and even without syncing anything to the cloud, it's still super laggy. Adobe needs to fix this NOW.

I did the latest update and it worked fine for a little while,, but it's going back to slugging back down. I have to restart my computer and log out / in to make it work. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the credentialing that Adobe is doing.

Known Participant

I'm not sure but they changed something in V13 and it's been bad ever since.

Please call tech support so it gets on their radar. This sucks.

Since I can't edit my last post, I run my edit files in an internal SD drive with penty of room and a new catalogue for each project so there shouldn't be any issues.. I don't use the cloud at all so there's nothing to sync

LRC Is unuseably slow. It used to be really quick, but it's getting harder and harder to edit over the last few months.. any ideas?!

I have the same issue. My Lightroom is useless now. When I try to shoot it down, it writes metadata changes into XMP for about an hour or so.

@Juha22517941e0f6 , You stated "I am having the same issue".

There are multiple users using different operating systems and with different issues. Please the user whose issue is the same as you and the actual version of LrC you have installed ie the actual numeric version number.

I updated to Lightroom (Classic) 13.5, and I have a MacBook Pro, M1 Pro, and MacOS Sonoma14.6.1. The problem is most significant in the developer mode. When trying to switch to another picture, for example, it takes 20 to 30 seconds to load the image. This hasn't happened with the previous versions. When quitting, it starts to write the metadata changes into XMP. This process is very slow, too (tens of minutes). So, my Lightroom is useless right now.

Participant

I'm having the same issue ever since the update, rolling back to a previous version did work to speed things up but then a new update installed and my catalogue updated so now it is too new to roll back. Trying to edit photos for a client and now having to export into photoshop for all the editing as taking so long to do any task.

Same issues here too. Sync is complete, tried a restart and still the same. It's completely unusable since the update. M1 Mac Mini with 16gb RAM.
