Hi I recently updated my Lightroom Classic and now every time I try to launch it I get the error 'Adobe Lightroom Classic quit unexpectedl'

 

Below is the crash report. Does anyone know a fix to this?

  1. Close Lightroom
  2. Restart the computer
  3. Use the Adobe Creative Cloud App to uninstall Lightroom
  4. Restart the computer
  5. Install Lightroom via the Creative Cloud App without launching any other programs.

Hi @DdeGannes , as far as I can tell, yes. I haven't spent too much time with it since reinstalling, but at least it opens! I poked around, made a few edits, hopped in and out of different modules and so far, so good. I'll report back if anything changes.

This suggestion worked for me. Was having the same issues as everyone else here. Instant crash after updating to LR 13.0.1.

I just tried it and it worked for me. I had to wait for about 10 seconds to open PS. Made an adjustment and pressed save. Adjsuted TIFF opened beside the RAW file in LrC. 

Are you using the beta version of PS?

This did not resolve the issue for me. In fact I don't have any edit in PS available now from LRC.

I couldn't get 13.01 to open either, so I installed version 13 from the Adobe apps and it is running perfectly again. Reluctant to try the 13.01 !

These instructions for a clean install of Lr Classic worked perfectly for me.
