Dell XPS 15 9570 lightroom got slow

[#1]

Hi All,

Lightroom Classic CC got very slow on my Dell XPS 15 with Win 10.

I tried every performance boost possible nothing worked.

CPU and GPU are not fully used, it seems like Lightroom is restricted to not use all the available resources of my pc.

Does anyone have a similar problem?

Thanks

Kind Regards

Kevin

What version number are you using?

How much RAM?

When did you notice the slowdown?

Have you tried disabling the GPU?

Have you tried resetting your preferences?

Please share your sys info as lightroom reports it. Various bits of info can lead to tips and can lead to advise 

In LRC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste into a reply. Interested in everything from first line down to just past plug-ins. Not at all interested in what follows plugins.

While you get around to sharing that sys info, a few items to look at.

As you are running WIN OS, look at the following link, read the entire thing, but especially look at tip 8, power settings (CPU)

Note that some of these changes can get reset to defaults during OS updates.

Thanks for the fast reply!

You can find the information about LR and my system bellow.

I tried installing older LR version, did not help.

Yes, I did, disabling the GPU made it worse.

Resetting Preferences did not help.

My laptop does not have a performance problem, other CPU and GPU heavy application work.

CPU goes up to around 50% to 70% (not fully used).

It is worst using the Brushes.

I had no problems like that before upgrading some Windows features (no heavy updates).

Windows 10 pro build 1903 is installed.

Delete Updates and reinstall OS did not help either.

Lightroom somehow does not use all the resources available, is there a way to change that?

Kind Regards
