Hey, I had a tech check my machine out and here's what they said. IF You have AVG or NORTON ANTIVIRUS, get rid of it. Just stick with Windows protection. Be sure you have your CUDA drivers installed. Delete your temp files. The main thing is get rid of those two anti-virus and run either Malwarebytes or Windows Protector. Instant change in peformance and so far, LrC and PS both run phenominalaly.

Is that the free space on the hard drive your catalog is in?
How large is the catalog and the library previews.
How large is that hard drive

Usually LrC wants at least 20% free, some say 25% free, less and LrC performance takes a hit.

How do find how much of LR space I’m taking up. I cleared out my Catalog and have less than 200 pictures. Does it also matter what package and space I have with my adobe plan ? I have a 20g plan.

I do everything on my laptop I don’t use external drives for LR

On the Windows computer, use the Windows File Explorer. Navigate to the hard drive the catalog is in, right click, select propertied. and you can see how large the drive is, and how much space is in use, then simple math tells you what % remains
