My computer froze during Lightroom catalog repair. Before this happened my Collections were missing. I've been using lightroom for 10 years and have never had these problem. How do I fix this and access my catalog.

    Restore a Backup catalog.

    That is the whole reason to make backups of the catalog- to restore it when the current one is corrupt.

    As to the Collections, I cannot answer, but again they may be in a backup of the catalog.

     

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

     

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
