Hello, 

Got a full subscription. Adobe Lightroom crashes on the desktop without a notice right after the app is opened.

The problem has been preserving for almost a month. Reinstalling doesn't work. No problems with hardware. Windows 11. Other apps work well.

Ii am so frustrated, I am a Photography student with exams very soon and continually Lightroom CC keeps crashing, nothing is working, I have sent loads of reports included my email and still this is not working, why am I paying for the software that crashes as it launches and is causing me so much extreme stress. I cannot even export my personalised presets so that I can just work elsewhere. HELP please

 

I turned off CPU, re installed, restarted my laptop, cleaned it, checked for virus, and nothing is working

 

a very stressed student

Ok, too many "experts" here that can't even understand a thing.

I solved this problem. This is GPU related issue, as I wrote down in specs I have 3080 ti with game drivers on board (Win 11). To avoid crashings all we need just to turn off the GPU in settings. Too simple.

 

I hope Adobe will fix this issue cause it's been for too long and I hope my topic will help a lot for those who spend tons of time searching pointless forum threads.

 

 

 

Kind regards,

Nice solution, I have same trouble and graphic card, so it would work for me, but How can I cahnge this configutation tip if LRC crashes just before I can aschieve the configuration menu?
I would thank a suggestion 🙂

Exactly. All you need after launching AL as swiftly as possible go to Preferences and turn off the GPU.

If it didn't work for you, I believe there is a config file where you can change this value.

 

Kind regards,

We’ve reviewed the email address you use with this forum and find no crash reports in our system.

 

Did you see a crash dialog?

Do you use a different email address when filling out the crash report?

Was the crash dialog Adobe’s? Microsoft’s? Apple’s?

Hi Rikk,

 

There were no any crash dialogs, just dissapearing of the program. Adobe Lightroom desktop version works just perfectly fine.

 

Kind regards,

I am confused by your answer. You've posted in the Lightroom Ecosystem forum and now say that it is working fine. Are you perhaps talking about Lightroom Classic?

 

Please go to Help>System Info… and get us the exact installed version number of your software that is crashing.
