Lightroom Classic 6.0 no longer works

I have my serial number I have paid my money but there is no longer a download available.  Up to a couple of months ago there was available a LR 6 download.  I do have it saved on my computer, but no matter how many times I complete remove it and all its components and reinstall it, there is no joy.  It will open and i can find my library and import into it, but once I go to the develop module it freezes. 

Has Adobe quit supporting LR 6?  I know they want you to dribble money to them forever and use a cloud, but I only buy things, not rent them and never leave anything I own on a system I do not control like the cloud.

This usually indicates a problem with the GPU, so try disabling it.

Open Lightroom, and before doing anything else, go to Edit > Preferences > Performance, and uncheck Use graphics processor.

If this fixes the issue, updating your graphics driver may make it possible to work with the GPU enabled.

Per,

You may have won the contest!  I disabled my EVGA 1070 Ti as you suggested and at least at first blush it appears to have solved the problem.  Let me work with it to be sure for a day and I will give you a kudo for the Correct Answer.

Per,

It seems to have done the ticket.  I do have a igpu on my Intel chip so I am fine not using my EVGA 1070 Ti.  I do consistently keep my drivers up to date.  I just am suspecting it is LR 6.14 that does not work with modern GPUs.

Thanks again, I appreciate it.

incidentally, enabling use it the GPU option in LR is both a bit misunderstood and a bit of limited use.

At Evelina, welcome to the Lightroom Classic forum, just so you are aware the forum is a user to user forum so the responses you receive here will be from users like yourself.

You need to post info about the Operating System of your computer including the version you are using.

You have resurrected a thread that is close on two years old which has been marked as answered and will attract little attention.
Have you tried tried turning off your GPU which solved the previous users problem?
