P: Lightroom internals failed to initialize

Hey All,

 

Since updating to the latest version of Lightroom (as of June 20th, 2023), this message pops up as soon as I press the app icon to open it on my Mac. It happens on my M1 mac as well as my Intel macbook pro. 

 

Anyone else havbing this issue? It's rendered my business dead in the water until I can access my photos again.

 

Pete

    Everytime I try to open Lightroom, not Lightroom Classic, I get this. 

    But there's no solution.  Lightroom is supposed to open on a laptop, I believe.  I uninstalled the app, then re-installed it and still the same issue.

        I have regular Windows 11. Do I have to get Windows 11 N in order to see the Media Feature Pack option? I don't see it there. I checked to see if the windows feature is on, and Media Features is checked off as on. I tried rolling back to a previous version of lightroom as well, but it keeps showing that the local catalog is damaged even though I did the steps from "Learn More" (mcat, previoews, etc).

                Mac users, please try a full uninstall/reinstall. You may need to manually delete part of the app:
                1. Uninstall Lr from the Creative Cloud app or the uninstall shortcut in the Lr folder.

                2. Look in your Applications folder for "Adobe Lightroom CC" and, if it's still there, move it to the trash.

                3. Reinstall Lr

                  Hi, and do you have a solution for mac users ? it's been almost 2 month now that Lr isn't working at all, and we pay for this service... May be is there an alternative to get my photographs to be shared ?
