Performance Issues in Lightroom

I've been experiencing significant performance issues with Adobe Lightroom and I'm hoping to get some advice or solutions from the community. While editing photos in Lightroom, I've noticed that the system becomes very slow and unresponsive. Specifically, when I try to adjust parameters (such as exposure, contrast, etc.), the mouse pointer gets stuck or lags for 1 to 3 seconds before it responds to my movements. This lag makes it incredibly difficult to make precise adjustments and disrupts my workflow significantly. Additionally, zooming in and out of images is extremely slow. There is a noticeable delay before the zoom action completes, and sometimes the system seems to freeze momentarily during this process.

 

All softwares and drivers are up-to-date. System configuration:

Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K 3.20 GHz

ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB 8GB OC Edit
Installed RAM 32,0 GB
Windows 11 22H2 22621.3737

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

What plug-ins do you have installed and active? may be best in LrC to click on Help, then System Into, copy that to your clipboard, and harvest from that the  plug-in info, and paste into a reply.

 

example:

 

Installed Plugins:
1) AdobeStock
2) Any Filter
3) jf Bag-o-Goodies
4) SmugMug

Make sure you're using the Studio driver, not the Game Ready driver. Reinstall the driver, and check "clean install" to remove all traces of the old driver.

 

Do not install the extra components in the driver package, GeForce Experience and PhysX. If you have GeForce Experience already installed, uninstall it. You don't need it and it's known to cause problems.

 

I'm assuming this isn't a laptop. If it is, you may need to completely disable the (conflicting) integrated GPU.

@Fluctor this is the Photoshop forum, try the Lightroom Classic forum instead
