P: Desktop: Resets recently edited photos randomly and won't shut down

I've had this happen more than a few times: Lightroom clears all my edits from a photo, when I change selection to a next photo. I've lost more than days' worth of work since I haven't every time notice this happening, and it's a real bummer to see all edits gone after editing dozens of photos in one session. Also, each time this happens, the Lightroom app won't shut down and has to be force quitted. 

There has to be a solution for this, right? 

I'm using version 3.3 on a 2018 MacBook Pro.

@Fourth King 

You’ve posted to an ancient thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same one you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better off posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information, including system information, a complete description of the problem, and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

 

If the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

 

Thank you!

It's 2024 and I'm still having this issue. It's infuriating. Sometimes restarting solves it but only for a few photos then it happens agian.

I'm using Lightroom 4.1 (the latest update as of today, March 12, 2021) on Windows 10. I built this computer about 1 1/2 months ago and dealt with this same Lightroom issue on my iMac running Catalina.

The past few months I've been having issues with lightroom reverting all the edits I complete on random photos. The photo will still appear edited and cropped with the other photos in the album along the bottom, but when I click on it all the settings are reverted back to original. 

I was part of a thread a month or two ago with a few other people having this same issue. One of the Adobe representatives asked for a diagnostic log. I downloaded diagnostic logs after 2 or 3 separate instances and sent them over. Never got a reply or an update. I'm still losing hours and hours of my work every week.
