OSX 10.15.7 on MacMini 2018
Photos hangs up when trying to hide even one photo. Have to force quit. ??
There are more than 20,000 photos in this library. It is sluggish so I thought I would hide most of the older photos and see if it would work more responsively.

Mac mini, macOS 10.15
As a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? (This tells us if the problem is limited to your current library or is more wide spread)
If the problem persists in the test library log into another vanilla admin user account, Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac, and see if the problem persists there. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).
Have you run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up" or anti-virus apps on your Mac?
