The application will show in the task manager as a background task, but will not pull up the application window. I have tried updating the app, rebooting the pc and running offline. All with no success

    Hi ​@Daniel27543550s2rx, thanks for reaching out, and we’re sorry about the trouble! 

    Please let us know the version of Lightroom Classic you’re using along with the version of Windows you’re working on. 

    Please ensure you have all available Windows updates installed on the computer along with the latest drivers. Once done, restart the computer and let us know if it helps with launching the app. 

     

    Thanks, 

    Nikunj

    We are running LRC version 15.3 and Windows 10 Version 22H2. We have updated Windows, LRC and rebooted afterwards with no success.

    Thanks for the information ​@Daniel27543550s2rx . Please go to the Event Viewer on Windows by Pressing and holding the Windows key on your keyboard and pressing R. In the window that comes up, type eventvwr and press Enter. Then Windows logs, then Application. Check if you see any errors or warnings that are related to Lightroom Classic.
