Catalogue Empty!

When I opened my Lightroom Classic catalogue today, I got a message saying that I needed to upgrade the catalogue for Lightroom Classic (I haven't used the program since the last update). I went ahead with the upgrade, and Lightroom opened with a catalogue called "Lightroom-Catalog-2.lrcat", but there are no files in the catalogue!

My image files are stored on a network server, and catalogues are on the C drive.

How can I restore the catalogue to show all my files?

What's probably happened is that you've opened an old catalogue, hence the upgrade message.

Look under File > Open Recent menu and you'll probably see the right catalogue with your work,
