Lightroom Classic is down

I have a photo on top of my work before I can begin post-processing my pictures. I'm also unable to load my images.  I cannot get rid of the photo hiding my workspace. I have a Mac air.

Correct answer Per Berntsen

This sound like a Secondary display window, which can be displayed by pressing F11.

Press F11 again to hide it.

The  Secondary display window is meant to appear on a second monitor, but if you only have one, it will display on top of the normal program window.

    I do have two windows and followed directions from some of the
    suggestions from the chat.
    Something worked and I can now continue with Lightroom Classic, which is
    working closely to what I had before. Nothing is covered now.
    Thank you for your interest in my problem and the advice to help rectify
    what has been happening.

    Hi @donna_1525, welcome to the community!
    Could you share a few more details, like which version of Lightroom Classic you're using and what you mean by a photo hiding your workplace? If you’re able to include a screenshot or screen recording, that would really help us take a closer look.
    Thanks so much!
    Alek
