Problem with auto sync

Ive had the 2019 version for quite a while now and I decided to go to the newer version. The thing is that i select all the images, I edit them and randomly some photos don't want to be edited, so I do it again, starting From those photos and happens that now other photos don't want to be edited. It's very frustrating because I don't even know which photos got edited and which didn't in, let's say, 500 photos.

There have been two different kinds of misbehavior with Auto Sync in the past couple of years:

 

1. The changes in Develop settings actually got copied to all the photos, but the Library and filmstrip previews ddidn't always get updated. When you opened any photo in Develop, you'd see the changes had gotten synced correctly. This appears to have been fixed (at least for most people) by LR 11.4.

 

2. The changes in Develop settings didn't get copied to all the photos, which you can verify by opening the photo in Develop.  In past years there were a number of such reports, and I don't recall seeing there was any definitive solution.  I've found only one other recent report of this.

 

So the next steps for you:

 

- Do the menu command Help > System Info and  copy/paste the first ten lines here.

 

- When you see a photo that appears not to have gotten the auto-synced changes, open it in Develop. Do you see the changes in the settings?  If so, then you're experiencing the category 1 bugs; if not, then it's category 2.

  •  i don't know if you can't see it clearly. It's a bug type 2. The photos don't get edited (some of them), it's not only the miniature.

You're on LR 11.4.1 / Windows 10, and your graphics driver is recent.

 

"It's a bug type 2. The photos don't get edited (some of them), it's not only the miniature."

 

Unfortunately, unless Adobe can reproduce this easily, they're not likely to pay much attention unless many people report similar symptoms.  So far, only you and another person have in the last couple of months.
