Lighroom Classic crashing every time I use it

[carolet20240992]

Is anyone else having trouble with the latest update?  Lightroom Classic crashes EVERY TIME I use it since I updated it.  It never used to crash.  This is so frustrating.  I'm using IOS Catalina.

I'd love to know this as well. I just purchased a laptop so I could get more editing done "on the go", and thought it would be a simple, download LRclassic and go type thing. WRONG!!!!! I can NOT get my presets to do anything. If I hover over my presets at all, LRclassic crashes! It's SO VERY frustrating! 

So now, I'm out $3K, and I'm still behind on editing and behind my big desktop having to do everything. Please help!

Moving on

 for crashing.

First thing to try is to reset the preference file, this is Adobe speak for deleting the preference file, LrC will create a new one upon launch as a result. The preference file can get corrupted leading to odd behavor.

Not that your actual preferences settings you may have set may reset to defaults.

Second thing to try, if you can start LrC for just a bit of time, then create a new catalog, test using the new catalog.

Or try a different existing catalog.

If you press down on the opt/option keys while clicking on the LrC shortcut, you should receive a prompt to allow you to choose a particular recent catalog or create a new one. Might be a bit muddy on the keystroke combo.

Third thing would be to uninstall v10, then install v9
