I can't open Lightroom. It appears that an error has occurred and it needs to be closed. The reference is error 205. Firewalls are disabled and I have already deleted and installed again, but the error persists. Someone can help me?

Make sure you have carried out the procedures to provide Lightroom Classic “Full disk access”. It is available at the top of the forum. See the screen capture.

Possible corrupt file.

Did you ever find a solution by chance? I'm in the same boat and it's extremely frustrating.

Please quote the exact word-for-word unedited error message.

 

Please state the exact version NUMBER of your Lightroom and the exact version NUMBER of your operating system.
