LR crashes when selecting specific collection

I've got a catalogue with 12000 images (ARW from Sony A1 and DNG from DJI Mavic Pro 3).

When filtering one specific collection to view all 2 star images, Lightroom freezes. I cannot use the interface anymore. I have to quit using the task manager. It works fine for all other collections with the same types of images.

 

I am on Windows 11 on a really powerful machine. Disabling GPU doesn't fixy the issue. Lightroom is running in the most current version.

 

Any ideas?

What happens if you replace that collection with another?

Could be catalog corruption. Try the following: Use 'Export as catalog' and export all images as catalog. Do not click any of the options to include previews, smart previews or negatives. Open this catalog and see if the problem is gone. If it is, then replace your existing catalog with this one.

 

Another possibility (if it really is only one specific collection) is to recreate that collection and delete the existing one.
