Question

I can't add any collections

I am trying to add collections, collections sets as well, and nothing happens when I click the + symbol. Previously there was always a prompt to fill in a name.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled.

I have the latest version.

I even deleted my preferences under roaming apps as suggested somewhere.

Nothing

    First try resetting your preferences file which has been known to fix all sorts of weird behavior.  See:  https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

    Sounds like your catalog may be corrupted. Do you have a backup from before this started to happen?
