Im stuck on Lightroom Classic version 11.1, No versions since open

Question

Since version 11.2 got released, I've tried to update LrC with no success. All the versions newer than 11.1 get stuck on "reading preferences" and sometimes even crashed. 11.3, 11.3.1, 11.4, 11.4.1, non of them work for me. I've tried resetting the preferences and looking for a "lock file" with no luck.

Right now I'm on macOS Monterrey 12.4 but the issues started a few operating systems ago.

I have a 2018 MacBook pro with a quadcore i5, 8Gb of memory and intel integrated graphics

I'm not sure what to do because I've been waiting for "the next update will fix the issue" for a very long while

In addition to the Disk Access which is critical, you might try deleting the preference file.

Try resetting your Lightroom preferences:
