@mbkriegh Best of luck to you. Lightroom has caused me to not update in the past, I'm soooo scared something like that might happen.
@maique i am currently doing a global permissions change across the entire external hard drive i keep the files on in hopes that will fix things. Taking a long time because there is somewhere between 2-3 terrabites of data on that drive. Hoping either that solves the problem or it will become a known glitch leading to another update of either operating system or LrC
