LRc suddently write like mad in CRLogs/dumps and freeze

Hi everybody !

Ok, it look me a while to gather the entirety of the problem, but here I am :

LRc constently freeze, like every 5 minutes when I'm editing.

I noticed that when it does, I could see from the performance tab is windows task manager that it also completely saturate my local disk with writing: it suddently peak to 100% activity, and stay to 100% until I kill Lightroom. In the meantime, my processor and RAM seems to be unaffected.

I had to investigate further to find this "dumps" folder in AppData/Roaming/Adobe/CRLogs. The mf was like 100go and is also began to saturate C: drive. I find multiple discussions in here saying that I can delete the files in it without breaking anything. So I did.

But the main problem remains: LRc keep suddently writing like mad is this folder (the 17,6go file from my screenshot was creating during the 2 minutes it took me to take the screenshots), and that make it freeze until I kill the task.

I already used Adobe CC cleaning tool to uninstal CC and every sofwares, and got a fresh instal, but it changed nothing. I also tried to go back from v14.4 to v14.3.1 but it did nothing either.

I'm under Windows 10 64 bits, with a Ryzen 7 5800X, Radeon RX 6600 XT and 32go RAM.

Any idea?

François

Thanks for reaching out. To better understand the issue, could you please confirm a few details?

  • Is the app crashing when you try to open or use it?
  • Could you try disabling the GPU and let us know if Lightroom starts working again?

    Hi, thanks for your help

    The app is crashing when I'm using it, I'm not sure exactly when, but most of the time it seems to be when I'm in the editing pannel, messing with my images.

    I'm not totally sure what you mean by disabling GPU, but I understand you want me to disable the graphic processor in preferences > performences > Camera Raw ?

     

    Anyway, I did it and I'm coming back to finish my answer 30 minutes later, I've been editing in the meantime and no crash so far, everything is running pretty smoothly! Thank you really much, I have big professional obligations coming this week, and I absolutely need Lightroom to work properly.

     

    Maybe could you provide me with a little more information about the issue? Why would my GPU make LRc crash and going in a log writting frenzy? And what could I do to solve the problem in a more systemic way? In any case, thank you again.

    @Francois Edison Glad to hear that disabling the GPU resolved the issue! For a deeper understanding of GPU-related problems in Lightroom Classic, you can refer to this helpful Adobe support article:

      Do you have 'Automatically write changes into XMP' enabled? If so, try disabling same. You'll find it in the Catalog Settings  Metatdata tab.
