Lightroom Classic catalog: cycling files and not opening
Hello,
I am running Windows 11, Lightroom Classic 13.4, then reverted to 13.02
I have a Lightroom Classic catalog that will not open. I had Lightroom open with a different catalog, then tried to open this catalog and now it is stuck. I am experienced with the program but have never encountered this issue.
I have a .lock file, I tried removing it, but that doesn't solve the problem.
The .lrcat-shm and lrcat-wal files are continuously loading and deleting, see attached video file.
I copied the catalog's folder and tried opening it off of a different drive, and the files in the original drive folder are looping again as if they are linked.
I reverted back to 13.02 from 13.4, but that didn't change anything.
I cannot open any other catalogs, it keeps reverting to this original one, even if I directly open a completely different catalog.
Clicking on Lightroom Classic and holding the ALT key does not allow me to select an alternative catalog.
