LR glitches

[kristif84699027]

I just updated to 11.3.1 on a mac 11.6.6 (Big Sur was also an update) and I'm having 2 issues.

• when stacking images, and running thru enfuse, LR crashes before it's done and I have to close it down, open it again and go to pictures and bring the blended in to LR from the picture folder. Enfuse is set up to bring images back into LR so that isn't the issue. The issue is with LR freezing up and crashing.
• when I want to open an image from LR into PS to do specifc work (in PS) on the image; even though I check off that I'd like to use image with LR edits, it still open the raw image in PS.

These things changed when I updated my LR, PS and OS system.  

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

While holding down the keys, launch Lightroom Classic.
When asked, select "Yes".

Check “Store presets with Catalog” checkbox in preference.

Thanks...I got them back! But I cna't for the life of me figure out how to fix everything else. I think LR is just glitchy and they need work out some bugs. This is why I hate updating my system and software.

Try logging into another account (you may need to make one), still crashing? 
Try starting up in Safe mode (hold down Shift Key when booting), still crashing? 
You might want to try running a free utility like Onyx: still crashing?

You can also roll back to an older version and see if that fixes the issue.
In Adobe Creative Cloud, select PS, click on the three dots and select "Other Versions".
