Another person reported similar symptoms with LR 12:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/import-section-missing-from-file-menu/m...

 

but unfortunately they never followed up.

 

As a first troubleshooting step, make sure you've grant LR Full Disk Access (not Files And Folder) permission:

In LrC, bring up Preferences, select the Performance tab. Where are you placing the Camera RAW CACHE?

A screen capture of that may be informative.

Suspecting that OneDrive or some other cloud storage might be involved. This based on:

Did you ensure that LR has been granted Full Disk Access (not Files And Folders)?

"I keep getting crashes when I close the app and  "An error occured" message when I attempt to change modules within the app."

 

If resetting preferences doesn't help and LR has been granted Full Disk Access, then work through the other troubleshooting steps here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/error-changing-modules-lightroom.html

 

In step 3, rather than use the Creative Cloud App, use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of Adobe apps from your computer. Then reinstall:

Have you tried resetting your preference file? Sometime the preferences file gets corrupted leading to buggy behavior. From the sound of your initial posting, this appears to be a brand new install, so the preference file should not have had an opportunity to get corrupted, but what if?

 

Note resetting or refreshing as Adobe now appears to want to state, basically involves deleting the existing preference file, then starting or restarting LrC, where upon LrC creates a new one from scratch. Be aware, doing this will cause settings in LrC preferences to return to defaults, and various settings in LrC will return to defaults. The preferences file keeps more than just what is in LrC preferences.

 

see:

https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/setting-preferences-lightroom.html 

 

Also, from this statement:

 

I use  Onedrive

 

While that was part of a sentence to indicate (and shown with a screenshot) that your CACHE is not on OneDrive, I think I should ask, is your catalog on OneDrive? Probably not the root cause, but if it is on OneDrive, that is bad.

 

Followup/ I just tested a new catalog on OneDrive, The catalog created behaves, it does not have your issue.

The most common reason Lightroom can't import your photos is that it believes the files are already imported. When this happens, certain files will appear greyed out and cannot be imported into the catalog. To fix this, go to File Handling and uncheck the “Don't Import Suspected Duplicates” option

Ok, I updated to Monterey and the problem is solved. But I don't know what caused it at the first place. Big Sur is compatible with LRc and this should have not happened.

Anyway, thanks for everyone that offered their help.

That's too bad. It will be little comfort to know that even if you had successfully connected to a support person, more often than not they wouldn't have been much help.
