Since I updated my Lightroom a few days ago, it keeps freezing and saying that it is not responding. Is this an issue with the new update? Can I get help with this? I have other photographer friends who are having the same issue with the new update.

Moved to Lightroom Classic CC — The desktop-focused app​

The first you can try is to deactivate the GPU support.

Some people have reported that running Lightroom as administrator fixes the problems.

Right-click on your LR icon, select Run As Administrator. See what happens

Revert to Lightroom 7.2

In the Adobe Creative Cloud Manager Application, on the Lightroom row, there is a down arrow to the right of the word Open. When you click on that down arrow, you will see choices that allow you to install earlier versions.

Could you please state the exact version NUMBER of your Lightroom? We need the version NUMBER, and not words like "current" or "up-to-date".

Yes, I already reverted to 7.2 but this is a work-around not a fix/solution!

You didn't ask for a "fix/solution", and furthermore, we are just other Adobe users here in this forum, we are not Adobe, we cannot fix anything.

I have just done the latest update Nov 2019 & since then I have experienced not only lightroom freezing when I go to export files but I can't even force quit or quit. Has anyone been able to rectify this problem? I have to turn off my computer to do anything on my computer when this happens.

This is happening to me as well. I can't even work anymore. The mobile app works better than my window's lightroom CC software 😞 I'm so frusturated. I've done everything in this thread, and I'm following this person's recommendations. https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/improve-lightroom-classic-cc-performance/

This thread is really old and probably not helpful to your cause.

Your best bet is probably to create a new thread and describe your problem in great detail.

 

Mac or Windows? Which exact OS version?

Which exact version of Lightroom?

What are the hardware specs of your computer?

Does the hang seem random, or are your often doing the same task when it hangs?

Hey girl, I figured it out. You need to make sure you have small batches of
photos in light room at a time when editing. Unless you have a huge
processor and large amount of ram, this is the best way to fix the problem.
For example, you will have maybe 10 different catalogs for a 1 hour shoot
of 300 photos. Hope this helps 🙂
