What Lr version are you using? what is the OS version? What is the computer’s configuration? What were you doing just before Lr went working slowly?

Did you try to simply reboot the machine? Sometimes a boot solves quit a lot of intermittant problems.

Please be very specific. What specific actions in Lightroom are slow?

[zoiag50122874]

Any action in Develop (zoom, brush, cropping ...) all hangs a multi-colored rotating circle appears and spin 5-15 seconds after any actions. The reboot does not help, at the moment I have made a return to version 7.0.1, reinstalled the program removed some photos, and it's faster, but the circle periodically jumps out. Today there was an update to version 7.2 I will update to see how it will work

[zoiag50122874]

I upload 200-300 photos after filming, only about 1800 photos in the lightroom. After the next upload the photos began to work slowly

[dj_paige]

Are you doing a lot of brushing and/or a lot of spot healing on your photos?

[JP Hess]

If I'm reading your specs right, and you only have 4 GB RAM, that could be the cause of your slow down. Lightroom performs much better with 8 GB RAM or more.

Jim,

looks more like 40GB the 4... 🙂 There should be no problem from that point of view!

zoiag50122874​,

Does the 7.2 version solve the problem?

Abambo.

Good afternoon. Installed the new version 7.2, removed half of the photos, made some recommendations from Google on the settings and began to work faster. Thank you. What exactly from these all actions helped him I do not know

[Abambo]

The recommendations "from Google" would be of use.

removing pictures should have little to no effect except for the very first start of 7.2 because Lr does some housekeeping and that's per picture.

7.2 is said to work faster, especially with enough memory at your disposal. 12 Gb is the minimal recommendation if I remember well to be able to get an advantage.

Your 40Gb are a little disturbing to me. It looks like 32Gb+8Gb or similar. That's probably not the best configuration for a performance machine.
