LR Classic startet nicht mehr

Kann LR Classic seit dem Update vor einer Woche nicht mehr starten. Erhalte die Meldung, dass der Katalog beschädigt ist und die Reparatur scheitert.

Nutze Windows 10 und habe kein Katalog Backup.

Neuinstallation nützt auch nichts.

Wer kann mir, auch gegen Bezahlung, helfen ?

      From which LrC version to which version do you have updated?

      Check the folder in which the catalog is stored if there is a .lock file. If yes, delete this file and check if you can open the catalog.

      Create a new catalog and try a import from the old catalog.

      What you’ve done?  Check about .lock file or create a new catalog and imprt from the old one?

      I have done all the steps of the trouble shooting guide

      1. Start while holding and select repair option - no success
      2. restore from a back of the catalog - Worked for a few days and then the issue reappeared
      3. Now created a new catalog and importing incrementally from a backup catalog

      So far so good but I miss presets.

      Is there a known issue with Lightroom CC 15 and synchro with cloud?

        ​@CM18 ​@axel alexander5E2F  an update … 2 days in the process

        I have imported 2 additional chunks from my backup catalog. So far so good apart from one restart after a lightroom blowup (with no reports … odd) but the catalog verification and repair worked and I was able to work further.

         

        I will continue to make updates on this thread as I beleive there is an unresolved issue lurking. 

        My system:

        Apple M1 Pro, 16GB Memory, MacOS Tahoe 26.4 1TB drive with 237GB available
        Library size pre-wreck: 235MB, Preview 1.73 GB , photo library ~ 186GB

          I had the same problem twice this past 2 weeks after the upgrade. I had to reload from a backup catalog but even that led to a failure after 2 days. I am trying to import from a back catalog in chunks …
