P: Preparing slideshow hangs on slide # 2

[Natzure]

This has been happening repeatedly in previous versions and hasn't been fixed in LR 6.5 (standalone). 
Steps
1.  Select some slides.  I'm using a filter to select slides that are 4 stars or higher.  There are 16 of them in the folder that match.
2. Go to slidshow and hit "play"
3.  The dialog box comes up "Preparing Slideshow" and below Preparing preview for slide #2.  It mostly hangs on # 2 but sometimes a different slide.  If I cancel and choose a different folder with no filters (all images) and hit "play" it hangs on # 2 again.
4.  BTW...if I hit the -> buttone (play) below the images, instead of the "Play" button in the right hand lower corner, it'll play.
5.  Also, based on some other input, I've tried turning off/on the GPU. No difference.

Thanks Sunil.  I'm on windows 10 64 with LR 6.5.  This issue has been there for awhile but is better as before both play buttons (text and icon) would hang.

Well it's back to the future in 2023! This bug is back - was it ever fixed?

It's better not to post a "me too" message in an old thread that discussed a Lightroom version that was discontinued years ago. Because this thread is about an unsupported version, nobody at Adobe will look at it. Post a new thread, describing the problem as it occurs with the current version of Lightroom Classic.
