I experience the same, download went well but does not start.

I experience the same, download went well but does not start
I noticed that after trying to start the application it seems like nothing is happening, however I saw in the windows task manager there is indeed a process running (maybe this is the conversion from the catalog that is running) and that the application beware the screen will appear after this conversion is completed.
this is just a thought of my own.

Is there a reason that prevents updating your computer to  Win 10 V 1903.

I think you got two things mixed up. If you can't upgrade to Lightroom Classic 10, then you should not get the option to try. Simply keep using Lightroom Classic 9. If the Develop module (and Map module) isn't working, then Lightroom is running in 'expired' mode. That means that you have cancelled your subscription or logged out and let it expire.

I haven't cancelled my subscription at all. I did update to V10 but it says
it is not compatible. Is there any way to go back to V9?

"says it is not compatible"


What are the exact words? What is your operating system version NUMBER?

 

You should be able to go back to Lightroom Classic 9.4, but first lets make sure you can't use 10.0. https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html
