Lightroom Classic not opening

Question

Hi,

Since the last time I closed Lightroom Classic a few weeks ago (which was without problems) I cannot open Lightroom classic anymore. When I click on it to open it, there is a loading symbol, but after a few seconds it disappears without opening the app. What I tried to fix it:

- Updated Windows to the last version (Windows 11 24H2)

- Deleted the latest version of Lightroom Classic and installed an older version.

- Deleted the app Lightroom Classic and installed it again.

Both didn't work and I can still not open the app. I don't know what to try anymore. I hope anyone can help me. Thanks a lot!

I closed Lightroom Classic a few weeks ago (which was without problems)If a proper catalog closure occured, then the following should not apply. But???? Using Windows File Explorer, bring up the folder your catalog is in. Do you see a lock file? https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-error-catalog-cannot-be-opened-lrcat-lock.html
