Question

Lightroom Classic cannot be opened

Wenn ich mein Light Room Classic öffnen möchte erscheint die Fehlermeldung "Light Room Catalog wurde beschädigt und muss repariert werden.

Danach erscheint eine zweite Meldung "Lightroom - Katalog Lightroom Catalog.zip wird geöffnet." Dann geschieht gar nichts mehr.

Ich habe das Programm wiederholt deinstalliert und installiert. Es hilft einfach nichts.

 

Was kann ich tun?

 

Ich habe das Windows 11 auf meinem Rechner.

When I try to open my Light Room Classic, the error message "Light Room Catalog has been corrupted and needs to be repaired" appears.

After that, a second message appears: "Lightroom - Catalog Lightroom Catalog.zip is opening."

 

Are you trying to open a .zip file, rather than a catalog file itself? You need to unzip it before LrC can open it.

Hi @ines_2773! Thank you for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about your issue. Have you tried uninstalling with the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool? It removes all the residual files that a regular uninstallation might not. Here's how you use it: Prepare to run the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool, Download and run the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool.


Thanks a bunch!
