I'm running Lightroom Classic on Windows 11. I'm hugely paranoid that one day my Lightroom Database is going to get corrupted. I make a backup every time Lightroom closes and it syncs to the cloud. But I'm also worried that at some point I'll lose power during editing and that will cause the database to corrupt. I've been lucky a few times when exactly that scenario has happened. To my knowledge, the database survived.
I recently invested in a CyberPower UPS. This will be great during the power flickers that we often have, protecting not only my database but always the Windows installation and hardware itself. However, this got me thinking about what happens if I'm away from the computer?
I've setup Windows to shutdown at approximately 60% of the UPS battery capacity. However, I'm unsure how exactly Lightroom will be treated. If for example I was away from my computer with Lightroom open, what happens when Windows shuts down? I'm assuming that Lightroom would cleanly exit.
In this scenario, if Lightroom Classic is open on a Windows computer, how does it "handle" Windows shutting down while it is still open? I imagine it wouldn't matter if it was a manual Shutdown, an Automated Shutdown, or a Shutdown Automated by software by CyberPower. Does it essentially "cleanly close" and then Windows powers the PC off?
