Lightroom Classic V13 stalling on Import

[Jennifer30565946ivz2]

Lightroom Classic V13 stalls as soon as I click "import" to where the software is unrecoverable.  Random new issue not previously occuring.  Computer is 6 months old.  I've already optimized the catalog without resolution.

In a first step try is to reset the preferences to the default settings.

Reset Procedure:

• Close Lightroom.
• Windows: Hold down [Alt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
  Mac: Hold down [Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
• Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.
• Close Lightroom.
• Restart Lightroom.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

Form which location do you tried to import (camera via USB, card reader etc.)?
