Question

Lightroom Classic ab Version 15 lässt sich nicht öffnen.

Lightroom Classic 14.5.2 works perfectly on the same Windows 11 PC, but the latest 15.x version won't launch after installation. The program attempts to load for 3 seconds. No error message appears. The program shows up in Task Manager.

Neither the latest NVIDIA driver nor the startup checks I’ve performed so far have resolved the issue. The fact that the latest version of Photoshop works further suggests that this isn’t a fundamental problem with Creative Cloud or my computer.

    Some people report that letting LrC continue trying to open for hours (one person said it took 12 hours), most people report that LrC does open and runs properly, and the next time they want to open it, the amount of time required is reasonable and expected.

    After four hours, nothing has happened yet. LR Classic CC is still showing up in Task Manager. CPU usage is about 12%.
