Lightroom Classic alternating between working and "Not Responding"
I do a lot of sports and event shooting. I exported thousands and thousands of photos from my other photographers from a three-day event, downsizing and watermarking. Then I turned to do the same of my own first day's images, almost 9,000. At the 6.5 hour mark, with the job only 60-70% complete, I finally took a break from dragging the already processed images into different folders, and went back to Lightroom Classic. It turns out, it had, and is cycling back and forth between exporting images for 2-10 seconds, to "Not Responding" for 4-40 seconds.
I never noticed because it was always making progress, and I never stayed on the LR window long enough to see it "Not responding" for very long. I've purged the cache, free'd up storage space on laptop SSD (now 228GB of 911 free, while the external SSD the images are on, has 509 GB free on 1.81TB drive). I uninstalled the current version and reinstalled a couple older versions of LRC. That didn't help. Nothing has helped. I've backed up two of the catalogs that have been used recently. I've optimized the catalogs. I've restored the original preferences. .
I have an older Windows 10 system with 24GB Ram. MY GPU is old and can't help assist Lightroom. There are no new drivers to update, I don't believe. I've updated windows once, and restarted multiples times. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!!
