Library slow after update

[emoslaughter]

I stupidly updated only to find that it completely screwed up my system.  

lrc 13.3

m1 MBP 16, macos sonoma 14.5

Issues:

the develop module seems mostly OK, except undo doesn't work.  The library module seems VERY slow and buggy

At first I noticed that when I flagged/rejected a photo, it didn't show up.  I just continued and then noticed that the flags/rejects were taking minutes to show up.  

Undo doesn't work or takes minutes

closing the app takes 5+ minutes (without optimizing) and it hangs

plug-in extras wont launch topaz photo ai

applying auto setting does nothing or takes minutes

cant synchronize folder, it just hangs

it seems like everything I touch is laggy and buggy.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled

I started a new catalog and imported my old one (took all night) 

i deleted my previews

reset my settings

I am at a loss.  Does anyone have any ideas for my to try?  Do i just put off using the app until it is fixed? ugh I have so many pictures to edit...

Is any undesired, SYNC to the cloud occurring?

[emoslaughter]

I don't think so. Performance doesn't change if i pause sync. Additionally, it was "up to date" for a lot of my testing. Maybe another uninstall?

[emoslaughter]

I've logged like 5 hours (no joke) with support and they have no clue. I probably just haven't found the bright agent... he was like, maybe just start a new from scratch catalog?  Yeah no thanks. Ugh...

13.3 is super buggy. Tried upgrading to it twice and eventually had to downgrade back to 13.2

[emoslaughter]

So after no joke, six hours being on screen share with adobe support, they took my logs and told me they would get back to me within 24 to 48 hours. I got an email 48 hours later saying that they're going to close my case without resolution.  I contacted Support again and they wanted to start over from scratch. That's pretty terrible support. Everybody, please take the time to send in your bugs and try to help them get a grasp on what is going on. Because I am stuck and they don't seem to want to help. 

additional notes: if I make a new catalog and import a small amount of test images, the library functions as intended. However, my original catalog is just like completely completely jacked. I even tried to start a new catalog and import my old one with no luck. It suffered the same consequences.

As of 13.3, Library preview generation has a new architecture. The previous previews are not compatible, but will upgrade on-demand or by rebuilding the entire preview database from scratch. If you didn't rebuild the previews, then it may be that LrC is building them on-demand while you're working in the Library module.

I just tried upgraded to 13.3.1 and I have the same issue with it stalling when trying to export images. I would stick to 13.2 until they address these serious bugs.
