LR 15.0 and 15.0.1 won't start

Question

On my laptop, Lightroom Classic 15.0 and the recent update 15.0.1 won't start. The process begins but remains in the background without opening the program. The Creative Cloud Desktop app confirms that LR Classic is compatible with my device.My operating system is Windows 11 Home 25H2.I haven't had any issues like this with previous versions. I reinstalled the version prior to 15, and it starts up correctly.The problem is that I have version 15 installed on my main PC, and the catalog is updated to that version, so I can't open that catalog on version 14 on my laptop!
