I am experiencing the spinning wheel everytime I launch my Lightroom Classic app. I then have to force quite to exit and it takes a minute to close. This is making my whole computer slow - I can't even empty the bin.... please help.

 

Version of the app -  12.0.1

Platform and OS version - Mac Book Air M1 2020 (has more than enough space available

Basic steps to reproduce the problem - Have updated OS and updated to the latest Lightroom classic..

Expected result and actual result - can't use my lightroom, the spinning wheel pops up straight away making me have to force quite.

Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you with this.

 

Please share a screenshot of the spinning wheel you see. Is this the spinning wheel you see?

Thanks for sharing these details. I assumed you were seeing the Activation-related blue spinning wheel.

You're experiencing a performance hiccup, casually known as the 'beachball.'

We can work our way through this. What version of macOS are you working on? Where is the Lightroom Catalog stored? On the internal drive or an external drive?

 

To troubleshoot, go to Lightroom Classic > Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor > Set it to Off if it is on Custom or Auto.

You can also follow the steps in this article to understand how Lightroom leverages your computer's hardware & software to best suit the way you need it to perform: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html

 

Let me know how it goes from here,
Thanks!
Sameer K

I think the cataloge is stored internally! 

it was on Auto, I've switched to off in previous steps and it doesn't help..🙃

 

What next please
