Hello everyone! Kent, this is an OUTSTANDING course! Just a tip for anyone experiencing this issue after rendering.
When I rendered the first time, I saw this message in my render view window "errors during render. see system console blender" to see the system consol you can access it in the window tab and select to see the console.
The error I had was "shadow buffer full" after a bit of research, it appears that a large number of lamps can create this problem. (I have a rather powerful PC, I'm not sure which part of the hardware this lighting error is affecting) anyway, I just placed my lamps in separate collections and disabled the rendering of those lamps that are not in the scene. This resolved the error.
I thought I should share as this has likely happened for others as well.
I am not using any add-ons that are not from blender. I have not updated the NVIDIA driver yet I heard there are some issues. I wonder what was/is causing the errors on my end. I wont obsess over it. If it occurs again in another render I will worry about it then.
