Hi, thanks for reaching out!

Please go to the location where the catalog is saved (the Pictures folder of your computer by default), and check if you have a file with the same name as the catalog ending in ".lock". If you do, delete the file and then try launching Lightroom Classic again. 

For more info, please check: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-error-catalog-cannot-be-opened-lrcat-lock.html

 

Let us know if this helps!
Thanks,
Nikunj
