LR Classic (9.2) - again shows "Waiting for Connection" in my ID plate

Hi all,

Getting a bit annoyed by the fact that again LR Classic is telling me that it is "waiting for connection" when everything else seems to be working normal (I do have internet connection, I do have access to my adobe account - typing this very complaint right now while LR is still waiting - I am signed in into my adobe account from within LR). It happened a couple of times in the period that I have this plan in place (app. 1 year). Only reason I can think of that this happened is that I updated MacOS Catalina to the latest version this week - maybe that "reset" something in the installation of the Adobe Suite.

Since Adobe Support is not of any much help at this moment (I have the feeling I'm connected to a bot as it is not responsive anymore - waiting for a reaction for over 20 minutes now), I decided to ask the community instead.

So, does anybody out here now how to solve this "Waiting for Connection" issue without having to reboot in safe mode and/or reinstall the adobe tools? Is there some Adobe-related "config" file on my system that needs to be "kicked" in order to get things going again?

Any more people having issues with this? 

KR,

Jan.
