Thank you VERY MUCH for the advices given above. (Windows 10) Pressing Alt + Shift while launching LrC enabled to readjust the presettings and choose default settings. Subsequently, I was able to restart LrC.

Nachdem ich versehentlich eine CR3-Datei von LrC 14.4 "als Katalog-Datei" geöffnet hatte, erhalten ich folgende Fehlermeldungen. LrC 14.4 lässt sich zwar starten, es öffnet sich aber nicht.
Hier nochmal die Fehlermeldungen.
Der Lightroom Katalog "141A2297" ist beschädigt und muss repariert werden, bevor es verwendet werden kann.
Lightroom Katalog "141A2297.CR3" wird geöffnet.

Hold the Ctrl-Key while starting LrC. This opens a catalog selection dialog.

Please also check if there's a .lock file next to the LR catalog in the appropriate folder. This remains if LR crashed

If there's such a .lock file it must be deleted manually.

More informations about this, you'll find here:

The Lightroom catalog cannot be opened because another application already has it opened - lrcat.lock (adobe.com)
