Spinning color wheel every time I open Lightroom CC - on Apple M1

Hello, I get a spinning beachball in lightroom every single time I launch the app. I open the app, it converts settings to XMP and then in a few seconds the color wheel prevents any action for about almost 2 minutes. This happened on my 2013 imac before (used to last for 5-6 minutes) and I just upgraded to an Apple M1 and the issue persists. Is there some kind of catalog optimization that I need to perform? Does anyone else experience this error?

I just upgraded to an Apple M1

Evan though, I will ask. Did a previous version work on this computer?

I did not try with a previous version. I simply migrated to the M1 from a 2013 IMac.

I suspect it may be an issue with my Lightroom catalog. I am going to try archiving it and making a new one to see if the issue continues.

Did you get this resolved? I'm on a very new iMac with lots of grunt and I can't get past the rainbow wheel of death today at all ... it's been a bit slower lately but I've never not been able to use it
