I'm very disapoint with Lightroom 14. The Program crash a lot of times, unable to use classification of photos, very slow and the computer almost always working with the ventilation on. Now I'm using the version 13 that works fine in my macbook. In my desktop I have Lightroom 14.4 and this problems are not listed in the bugs fixes of this new version.

Please explain the problem in a lot more detail. What is slow? What stops you from classifying photos? We need details on all of these problems.

Hey, @Jose_Monica1310. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Please share the system info from Lightroom Classic from Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

Have you recently updated the OS? Does Lightroom Classic crash during specific tasks or operations? Where do you keep your Lightroom Classic Catalog? Internal, or external drive?

As primary steps, try this:

Unplug additional displays & use only one by default.
Monitor the Activity Monitor for any unexpected read-and-write operations.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
