Turn off "Generate previews in Parallel"

[brother jug]

I turned this off, bit it's still doing it. Do I need to reset the preferences?

Usually, you have to restart Lightroom for settings like these.

Did that.

If quitting and restarting Lr doesn't do it... try logging off your computer and back on as well.

Read this for a better description of what the "generate previews in parallel" option does when it is toggled on/off:

Lightroom Classic CC 7.3: Unchecking "Generate Previews in parallel" doesn't seem to work | Photosho...

You will still see 2 operations in the status bar regardless of how the preview generation setting is set.

Thank you.

Not a big fan of this BTW.
