P: 13.0.1 at launch [LrC quit unexpectedly] (Mac)

I tried Clean Lightroom Install Procedure and it didn't fix the problem. Still wouldn't open.
Where do I find 13.0? I can't find it in Creative Cloud. It only offers me 13.0.1 now.

When i go to open LRC version 13.1 it keeps crashing.

Tried multiple times, same result every time.

Had to reinstall Version 13

@AManWithACamera.com  Thanks for confirming.

I can confirm that I have now follwed @Rikk Flohr: Photography's steps on my main machine, an old Mac Mini. I rebooted, uninstalled 13.0, rebooted, installed 13.0.1, rebotted, and everything is working ok.

I did the clean reinstall of 13.0.1 as outlined.  But it only registered about 25k of my (remembered 35-40k) pictures.  I tried a second clean reinstall, but it still only captured 25k of my images.  There are entire folders showing no images, but when I go to import images from that same folder, it shows tens to hundreds of images already in the catalog and not available to import.  How do I go about going back to 12.x (which I have a saved catalog for), and then trying 13.0.1 again from that base?  Thank you.

Neither catalogs nor preferences/settings/plugins will be removed if you follow the steps in the Pinned Reply above.

What about the catalog ? will it be removed to ?

Thanks for the post. I've ended up going back to LR 13.0 on Mac OS 14. It seems the critical bug fix for LR 13.0.1 has introduced a bigger critical bug.

"Still concerned that I will end up losing some settings or preferences by uninstalling LrC 13.0 as step one."

I uninstall/reinstall LR many times a year as part of my plugin development, and I've never lost any preferences. When you click uninstall, you'll be asked whether to keep all your preferences and plugins:
