Help, catalog not seeing photos after upgrading to 13.3

Good Morning. My LRC Catalog (which is stored on an external drive along with the photos) was just upgraded to the 13.3 version (the previous version was 13). After upgrading, I can no longer see any of the imports from the previous couple of months although the folders where the photos were imported to through the previous version of LRC are where they're supposed to be on the hard drive.

 

I am running LRC on a Dell Precision 7710 with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.71 GHz

32 GB of RAM

64 Bit Windows 10 Pro

 

Please Help.

Most likely, you (accidentally?) upgraded the wrong catalog. In Windows Explorer, find the current catalog from LrC 13.2 and upgrade that (I believe you can double-click on it to start the upgrade process).

I don't see a 13.2, just a 13 (which is highlighted in the screenshot) which is the last one that was modified before today. I'll try that one.

The file name is most likely Lightroom v13.lrcat unless you changed it. I can't see images in attachments, images should be included in your reply by clicking on the "Insert Photos" icon.

Have you verified that the photos are still on the drive using Windows Explorer?  Can you post a screen shot that could help figure it out?

Yes, the photos are physically located on the drive.

Attached is screenshot of the photos from my last import in the folder.

Also a screen shot of my LRC screen with the previous import section highlighted in the left panel with the right panel showing the date of that import.

Another screen shot of the folder with my LRC catalogs where my previous version of the catalog prior to updating to 13.3 is highlighted

Another screenshot of the folders created through LRC of all the imports that I have made this year (the ones highlighted) that aren't showing up in LRC now.

...now that I am looking at it, it isn't showing ANY of the imports or edits that I have made this year AT ALL...
