Question

Lightroom CC Classic crashes during catalog switch

Ever since LR changed to LR Classic (and all of my catalogs were updated), each time I try to switch from one catalog to another catalog the program crashes and shuts down.  When  restarted it goes to the catalog I was attempting to load before the crash.  This is on a Windows 7 machine.

Anybody else having these issues??

Nobody else having these issues???

I should also mention that I uninstalled and then re-installed LR, but no help, same problems.

I’m not seeing this on W10. Are you having to click skip backup to close the open catalog?

This works for me:

File >> Open Catalog

Navigate to Pictures and open named catalog folder

Select (highlight) .lrcat file and click Open

Click Relaunch

Selected catalog opens

All my catalogs were upgraded when I did the LR update, no problems there. 

If I'm in a catalog then hit ctrl + o (or do from the top menu) and pick another lrcat, the program will shut down as normal but crash on re-launch.  I then get an Adobe box that asks to send the info to Adobe.  When I manually re-launch LR after that it will come up with the catalog I was trying to switch over to.
