Hello. I've read some other topics about issues like mine but nothing that a i've tried worked for me. First of all, sorry for my bad english. The problem is that Images look very different between devolp and library modules. I'm using windows 11, lightroom classic 13.2,  an LG monitor ultrawike 29" 29wk600 model with  AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT video adapter importing using 1:1 previews and it doesn't matter what I try to do differente, the difference between the imagens in the modules are so different. In develop imagens looks sharper and with more texture as the example below: (first one from  develop and the second from library).

 

Other example (first one from develop and second one from library)

 

What do you think should I do to solve this, please? 
Thank you!

While there are differences in how Library and Develop display photo details, the examples you posted look larger than normal. Next steps:

 

1. View the Library and Develop images at 100% (View > Zoom To 100%).  If you still see significant differences, post screenshots of the same portion of the image from Library and Develop.

 

2. In Library, after zooming to 100%, zoom back to Fit. Does it now look sharper and closer to Develop? If it looks sharper after zooming to 100% and back to Fit, that suggests that the 1:1 preview wasn't originally displayed, and we can dig into that more.

    I deleted the file, closed lightroom and opened it again and it didnt work. I forgot to say that when I export the picture it gets unsharpened like in library.

    I realized that when i turn Graphics Processor off, the develop image gets less sharpened and the images look more like each other

    There is something really strange going on here. This rather clearly points to the GPU driver.

     

    And if this is happening at 100% view, lots of red flags come up. That GPU is doing something weird.

     

    It has come to my attention recently (not being familiar with AMD) that AMD very aggresively add gaming-specific modifications to almost everything, as default settings. I would assume the GPU driver is a particular target for this.

     

    So what I would do at this point is go on a hunt. Find everything that looks like a gaming setting, and kill it. Not just in the GPU driver, but system wide. I have for a long time noticed that AMD systems seem more prone to problems than Intel, and this looks like a very likely explanation.
