If you rename the catalog file, you also have to rename all the associated files. (the ones with red text in the screenshot)

Is Image Sizing checked in the Workflow settings? That could be the explanation.

Unfortunately, the existing shortcuts for Transform Upright (except Guided Upright) are hard wired and cannot be changed.
And you cannot create a new shortcut from scratch. For instance, the menu item Tools > Select sky does not come with a shortcut, so none can be created. I believe that this limitation is due to the way LrC is coded.
But I highly recommend the Any Shortcut plugin.

Try resetting the preferences. Method 3 described on this page is the easisest.

If that doesn't help try uninstalling, then reinstalling.

There is no keyboard shortcut for Transform > Upright > Auto, and you cannot edit shortcuts in LrC.
But there is a shortcut to cycle through the transform options – Ctrl + Tab.
Pressing it once should highlight Auto.
You can also reset any of the transform options by pressing Alt and clicking Reset [option name] at the top of the panel.

The preferences window cannot be resized.
The minimum screen resolution for LrC is 1024 x 768, recommended is 1920 x 1080 or larger.
The preferences window is about 860 pixels tall, so if your screen resolution is 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 800, the bottom of the window will be cut off.
This will hide the Cancel and OK buttons, but you can press Escape to cancel, and press Enter/Return for OK.

Your Lightroom window is truncated, the top right corner should look like the screenshot below.
What is your screen resolution in pixels?
Try clicking the restore button, then click the maximize button to make the window fill the screen.

You have "Add" selected at the top of the screen, which LrC probably doesn't allow you to use when the source is a camera card.
What happens if you choose Copy, and select a destination in the Destination panel on the right?

Installers for LR 5 and older are unfortunately no longer available.
Adobe's policy is now that you can only download the current version and the previous version, which would require a subscription to the 20 GB Photography plan (cheapest option, 10 US Dollars a month, annual commitment).
For Lightroom Classic, that means you can only download versions 14 and 13.

Looks like you're viewing at 200%.
Use 100% to evaluate image quality.

after Lightrrom updated to the newer versions my application is closing when I'm working on my edits, sometimes it works without problem, other times it simply reboots Windows, this doesn't happen with other programs and applications, did anyone have a similar problem?
By @Claudemir_Azevedo2424
This is either caused by failing hardware or a buggy driver.
In LrC please go to Help > System info, click the Copy button and paste in a new reply.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't think there ever was an Apply button.
The Add and Subtract buttons are for using the brush to add or subtract from the selection.
You can leave it on Add, and press the Alt key while brushing to subtract.
Once you're happy with the selection, click Remove to apply.

You are using oldstyle figures (numbers), an Open Type feature. Turn them off in the Character panel menu. (top right corner)
Oldstyle figures are commonly used for extended text – they blend in nicely with the letters, and don't stand out like regular (Lining) figures do.

You have three little circles on some of the thumbnails, which indicates corrupted Library previews.
To fix it, delete the preview cache.
Close LrC. With the Finder, go to the folder that contains your catalog. If you don't know where it is, go to Edit > Catalog settings (might be in the Lightroom menu on a Mac). In the General tab, click Show in the top right corner.
Delete the folder (might display as a file or a package) whose name ends with Previews.lrdata. Do not delete anything else.
The previews will rebuild as you browse folders in Library.
You can rebuild all the previews by clicking on All Photographs in the Catalog panel. Make sure no filters are active, then select all Photos. (Cmd + A)
Then go to Library > Previews > Build standard size previews. If you have a large number of Photos, this can take several hours , so you might want to let it run overnight.

Are you viewing the image at 100%?
When evaluating noise, sharpness and other image detail, you must view the image at 100%, where one image pixel is represented by one screen pixel, giving you a true rendering of the image. (if you have a Retina display, use 200%)
Any other view will be inaccurate and misleading because the image has been scaled.
So if you compare the original with the denoised version, do you see a difference?

I'm not familiar with Laplink, but I don't think so.
Install the Creative Cloud desktop app on the new computer, then use it to install PS and LrC.

The filmstrip at the bottom of the screen display the same photos as the grid above.
You can turn it off (and back on) by pressing F6.
All the panels in LrC can be shown/hidden using keyboard shortcuts.
F5 for the module picker (top of the screen)
F6 for the filmstrip
F7 for the left side panel
F8 for the right side panel
Tab for left and right panels

Web browsers will scale images to 200% when they detect a high resolution display, so a 2280 px image will also be scaled to 200% (or scaled to fit the window if there aren't enough screen pixels available). If the display is standard resolution, no scaling will occur.
Some websites use special coding to prevent the scaling, it requires two versions of each image - one at 1x and 2x.
The 1x version will be served to standard resolution displays, and the 2x version will be served unscaled to high resolution displays. This is done with a script that tricks the browser to think that the image already has been scaled. At least that's how it worked when I implemented this on my website some years ago.
If the websites you display your work on don't have this feature, the best you can do is to make the image look as good as possible at it's native size (1140 px). You can assign a keyboard shortcut to View > 200% to check how the image looks when scaled.
Do I just set it to 144 dpi and make it 1140px? That way, its not so blurry at 2x? Also, making it 2280px is not comfortable even at 72dpi
By @SB-W
PPI (it's not DPI) stands for Pixels Per Inch, and is optional metadata used to calculate printed dimensions.
Pixel dimensions divided by PPI = Printed dimensions in inches.
For screen viewing, PPI is irrelevant, and not even required. The image will display according to its pixel dimensions no matter what the PPI value is.
If you export from Photoshop, the PPI value will be stripped out because it's not needed for screen viewing.

There are several ways to move the sliders –
Use the keyboard - with the mouse cursor over a slider, use the Up and Down arrow keys. Pressing Shift while doing this will increase the increments the slider moves by. Pressing Alt (Option on a Mac) will make the increments smaller.
You can also click in the number field next to the slider. Then use the arrow keys to change the value in the smallest possible increments. Adding the Shift key will increase the increments.
By the way, I'm in Creative Cloud.
By @LuisPita
Both Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are part of Creative Cloud.
So are you using the cloud based Lightroom, or Lightroom Classic? Go to Help > About to verify.
If it's Classic, this thread will be moved to the Lightroom Classic forum.

I think @GoldingD might be on the right track.
There are issues with importing from folders containing videos. I don't do video, so I haven't paid much attention to it.
Move the videos to a different folder with the Windows File explorer, then try to synchronize again.

In Lightroom Classic you can drag the sliders with the Shift key pressed for better accuracy.
That might be possible in Lightroom too.
Are you using Lightroom (cloud based) or Lightroom Classic?
If Classic, @kglad can move this thread to the Lightroom Classic forum for you.

The directions seem to be for the cloud version of Lightroom (which is named "Lightroom").
"My Photos" and "Albums" do not exist in Lightroom Classic, but they do exist in Lightroom.
How exactly did you reset the preferences? It can be tricky using the keyboard.
The easiest way is Method 3 described on this page:
