Lightroom classic CC is not starting on my PC (Win 7, 64 bit). It gets stuck on the splash screen during the "reading preferences" part. I've tried almost everything: restart PC (because the process cannot even be killed in task manager), uninstall LR, uninstall the whole CC, not keep preferences during uninstall, update Windows, delete preferences folder manually, take the PC offline; but still, the same issue EVERY SINGLE TIME. Has anyone experienced this and/or has a solution? Also, can anyone recommend alternatives to LR? Adobe is really beginning to annoy me - ever since I've known their software, it has been either slow, un-intuitive, unstable, or all of these combined. And on top of this, it has always cost a lot of money for its poor performance. Really disappointed, because what you can do with the tools is really great 😞 [Moved by moderator from Adobe Creative Cloud to Lightroom Classic — The desktop-focused app]
