Hi dawnc50274317,
would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in this thread :

Have done that and does not make a difference. I had a windows and LR update yesterday, ever since it has done this. I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Bridge works, PS works. I need this figured out, the thought of doing 2 full weddings in PS scares me.

So I did that and all it did was slow down my PC. Lightroom, is now more jacked up. It turns on, then goes black and then white. This is the first problem I have had with my PC since I had it built.

Hi dawnc
Go to Edit - Preferences - Performance and uncheck Use Graphics Processor.
Close and reopen Lightroom
Let us know if that helps

I found an driver update for my graphics cards. Currently I am downloading it. If it doesn't help then I will try that. Thank you for the swift reply

Thank you for your help.
So for anyone who comes across this problem, update your Graphics card to the newest version for Windows 10. It will save you days of headaches.
