Question

Lightroom Classic - won't open beyond the Splash Screen

Hello,

 

I am a Air Mac (M1) user, and since the Big Sur Update, Lightroom Classic wont open. Basically Lightroom Classic doesnt launch and closes automatically after the splash screen. 

I logged in, logged of, restarted my computer, reset the preferences, but no success. I reinstalled Lightroom Classic several times, no success. 

I am using the latest version of Lightroom Classic 10.2 as well as the latest version of Big Sur. Photoshop and the online Version of Lightroom, work just fine.

Check the folder containing your Lightroom catalog. If you see a file ending with lrcat.lock, it should be deleted
