Why is Lightroom so slow??

[rosemary24502852m6tk]

I've been really struggling with lightroom on my computer recently. I have Lightroom on my windows laptop, and everything I've read online about speeding it up is meant for Lightroom classic not Lightroom. 

I've done everything I can. I have more space than necessary and more than all suggested minimum requirements but more and more lightroom is not functioning. It's just so damn slow. I thought that as Lightroom stores images in the cloud and not locally that it shouldn't slow it down, but does the cloud slow it down? And does anyone know is Lightroom Classic faster than Lightroom?

i really need some good solutions here cause it's driving me insane.

Hi @rosemary24502852m6tk 

Thanks for reaching out. I have a few questions before we suggest troubleshooting.

Which version of Lightroom CC are you using, and what are your system specifications? 

Does the application slow down while performing a special; task?

Please list the troubleshooting steps you have already tried which didn't work.

We're here to help, just need more details.

Best,
