Corrupt Catalog in Lightroom Classic

Question

Lightroom Classic won't open, writes that my catalog is corrupt, cannot be used until it is repaired, and then nothing happens. *updated title by Community Manager for more clarity.

Your catalog is corrupt. You need to restore a recent backup copy of your catalog file.

Also, FYI, the new forum is so poorly designed that many users are confused. The first dialog box when you type a new question should be the title (it doesn’t say that) which is a few words that describe the problem, like “Catalog Corrupt”. The next dialog box is where you should type the details.
