Lightroom Classic 8.0 crashes at 'Develop' (Windows 10)

[laurencee68462272]

I am running Windows 10 (build 1803) and Lightroom Classic 8.0 (Build 1193777).

I am able to start LR Classic, import a local directory of photos (including RAW), but when I switch to 'Develop', Lightroom crashes (takes a few minutes to pop-up a crash report to send to Adobe).

I had uninstalled LR Classic. Removed the directories and contained files (.... \Pictures\Lightroom), and re-installed. The behaviour remains - Crash when switching to 'Develop'.

Any ideas?

Please try switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

Initial tests indicate this has solved the problem. Thanks!

Mac or Windows? Which version?

Which exact version of Lightroom?

Which camera?

Are you directly connecting the camera or using a card reader?

Is the destination folder an internal drive, external drive, or network folder?
