After installing Catalog-v-10-3 I can't find my photos and (?) is not working

Question

I have ongoing problems with linking my photos to Lightroom Classic and twice have lost them and had to restart the editing of my total collection – I have now re-edited back until 2019 (8 years to go).

I store my photos on an external SSD hard drive (G) and I also have backup on two other external drives (E) and (F) plus the C drive I decided to accept the update to Lightroom Classic (Catalog v10-3). Today I downloaded update but on restarting there was no G drive on the folders and only C drive and F drive with questions (?) and no photos shown - virtual or otherwise.

Is there anything I can do other than downloading the photos and starting to re-edit? Is there any support or advice anyonecan provide?

I will not do anything until get reliable advice for fear of making an irreversible error.

"Catalog v10-3" sounds like Lightroom has made a catalog upgrade for the third time, even though an update from version 10.2 to 10.3 doesn't require a catalog upgrade at all. Your problem may be that you keep upgrading an old catalog. Take a look inside your catalog folder and show a screenshot of it here.
