What is it with adobe these days?

Same happen to me with this last update. Previous one had an issue with HDR and Panaramas that I did not check it yet if they had fixed it. Before that we had the random deletes the files from HD that affected my installation of backblaze... Previous to that, the infamous new import dialog...

This bug hit a friend of mine today.  Thanks to Graeme I was able to offer him a solution that worked!  Thanks!!!

Good question!

I updated two Macs just fine then my wife started cursing at her Mac.  It was behaving very oddly in the develop module.  It took me a while but I found that the graphics processor performance "enhancement" had been turned back on.  Turning it off restored her Lightroom back to its normal behavior.  Her machine only has 512MB VRAM and the "enhancement" only succeeds in slowing things down and negatively affecting the adjustment sliders on her machine. 

Quite an update!

Before I attempt to update LR on my Windows 7 machine, my question is: has this latest LR update problem been observed on Windows machines? using which OS's.

Appreciate any warnings.

Ciao,

It works well on my Windows 10 system.

Updated without any problems on my Macs.

The problem only affects a small number of Mac users.

It may relate to certain plug-ins which incorrectly changed the folder permissions when they were installed. Previous Lr upgrades installed anyway, this one didn't.

John, that's very interesting....

Not sure why I was of the "lucky" one selected to have this trouble... But I basically just have Lightroom + Photoshop installed... (CC photographers offer or whatever is called), no plugins at all...

Ever installed anything like Nik?

[davidgp]

Nope, I basically have installed: Lightroom, Photoshop, final cut x, and the rest are things like chrome, Skype, some programming tools for my main job... But no plugins like nik or similar...

[john beardsworth]

Ever? It's not simply what's installed now.

[davidgp]

Ever, the system is less than one year old... And I don't use anything else than Lightroom and Photoshop

[john beardsworth]

OK, then hopefully the shell script fixed it.
