Lightroom freezing and crashing?

[Crotal Bell]

Does anyone else have this issue or know why it may happen.

Some nights it just freezes, or will crash completely and re-start with images missing from the bottom strip, freeze up again etc.

After experiencing these issues tonight it now refuses to open the app at all.

Can't say I've had any issues, but maybe easier to narrow down help if you state which version of Lightroom and which operating system you are using.

Classic and on a standard laptop Windows 10. I have just read on the settings menu Im not getting updates anymore or security updates so maybe it would be better in Windows 11 ?

When you say a standard laptop running windows 10, what is the specification of the laptop ?

Both my body & brain freeze & crash all the time. And you're worried about software? Perspective is a thing ...

Dont know, average Lenover laptop AMD 5 processor SSD

I upgraded CCleaner to pro and updated lots of outdated stuff, cleared lots of old stuff away.

Just tried it and it worked fine, maybe my drives and memory were clogged with junk ?
