Unable to open Lightroom classic in Mac

Report · May 01, 2024

Lightroom classic is getting stuck while "Reading preferences.." after installing version 13.2 on my Macbook Pro (macOS Sonoma 14.4.1). I have tried resetting the preference file and uninstalling and reinstalling lightroom classic multiple times with no success. I have also downgraded the version to 13.0 and faced the same issue. Can anyone help with fixing this issue?

I have tried resetting the preference file

So did you use the Finder to locate the preferences file, and then delete it?

If so, try turning off the GPU by editing the preferences file.

Open it in a plain text editor, then search for AutoBahn.

Change useAutoBahn = true, to useAutoBahn = false,

Save and close the file, then try to launch LrC.

Does it fix the issue?
