Question

Lightroom opening catalog

Yesterday when I opened my LR - none of my photos were showing.  You can see that there is 800 photos, but they are not visible.  Someone suggested that I re install my previous catalog.  Since yesterday morning - right through the night it keeps on saying that the Catalog is opening.  I cannot access LR at all.  

I even shut down my computer - still nothing

If you are sure that you use your actual catalog I would suggest to reset the preferences to the default settings first.

How to reset Lightroom Classic preferences (adobe.com)

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

Did you forget something, a screen shot maybe? I cannot see anything.
