I would try uninstalling Lightroom via the Creative Cloud app, then re-install it. Does that fix the problem?

Thanks for the update. But you've now tried most of the things I would have suggested, so we might need an Adobe rep to step in here with a better suggestion.

 

Although it doesn't sound a likely fix, the only other thing I would try if I was having this problem would be to reset my local library. The problem with doing that is that any work (including edits or new images) that have not yet synced to the cloud would be lost, so it's not something to be taken lightly. Might be better to wait for an Adobe rep (or someone with a better idea) to post.


BTW, what version of Lightroom are you using? If you're not updated to the latest 6.1 version it would be worth trying that at least.
