Hallo, with the recent update of LrC, it upgraded my catalog file and then ended with an error screen telling: Failed to initialize AI Edits storage

 

What/where is AI Edits storage?

How to open my catalog file?

 

Windows 10 with latest AMD drivers.

LrC 15.0 Build 202510171722-44f87028

That catalog file is 1.3 GB

free disk space is >100GB

Hey, @pisi. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

What version of Lightroom Classic are you working on? 

 

Please try this and let me know how it goes. 

1 - Uninstall Lightroom Classic from the Creative Cloud desktop app. 

2 - Restart the machine. 

3 - Install Lightroom Classic again

4 - Make sure you either Launch Lightroom Classic from the Creative Cloud desktop app, or

5 - Go to Lightroom installation folder, C drive > Program Files > Adobe > Lightroom Classic > Lightroom.exe > right-click Run as Administrator and check if the issue exists. 

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

I am having the same issue.  Just installed LRC on a second computer and it worked initially and I added some photos locally and processed a couple, incluidng one with IA denoise to check that it was working, and now when I restart the program (and also after following the steps above), I still get the "failed to initialize AI edits storage" message and the program quits...  Any other suggestions? 

Thank you.
