Lightroom Performance Issue
Dec 17, 2020 06:58:54 #
Has anyone noticed a severe performance issue since the last update.
On both of the machines, I use " desktop and laptop" using lightroom has become painfully slow opening and also "not responding" messages moving around LR. No problems prior to update.
Thanks

I don’t have any issues with my W10 system with spinning drives.

I'm sure you rebooted your system.

I have noted that LR is slow to start sometimes. In fact it can hang on startup. The solution is a reboot. After that LR operates normally. Have not noted any slowdown in normal operations. Once I reboot, I can use LR all day without a problem. But when I do other things with my computer I eventually have the LR startup problem again.
My computer is over 5 years old now and has had some issues with LR for around a year or so. In fact it had some issues on random programs, and would occasionally hang. When I force a restart, a dialog comes up that tells me there's an error accessing a memory location. It seems to be the same memory location every time except that if I make a change in some program configuration the location changes. I have not identified which program changes do that because I don't change programs frequently.
The first thing I did was to clean the computer. I vacuumed the vents to clear the dust and blew out the heat exchanger on the CPU. Dismounted all the RAM and re-mounted it after cleaning the contacts. While that improved the random hang issue, the LR didn't change much. Right now it's something I can deal with by rebooting, but I think that for me, the long term solution would be a new computer.

The typical on line gurus like Kelby, Brampton, Gray, etc all have tutorials for reviewing performance issues. Basically, there are a variety of optional settings that will slow it down.

I have found that contacting Adobe tech support through Creative Cloud is a quick and easy way to resolve otherwise confusing issues.

YES - very slow at start-up. I bought a new computer w/ 128bts of memory, SSD drives and Nvdia 2080 video card. I have contacted Creative Cloud and the issues still happen - slow start-up. In fact, I contacted them twice- once for my five-year-old Window 10 computer and next for the 1-month-old new computer. This is getting to be very frustrating especially now that I know I'm not the only one having this problem.

Yes, I recently have had difficulty starting LR with the annoying "not responding". I've tried the normal remedies, restart, reboot, etc. Eventually it starts up and works fine but it is sure annoying. There have been no issues in PS.

What is 128 bts of memory?
