Unable to Launch

I can't get Lightroom Classic to launch. When I try to I get spinning wheel while the computer thinks about it for a second then nothing happens, but Lightroom Classic shows up as a Background Process in Task Manager. This only happens with Lightroom Classic, I also have Photoshop and that works fine.

 

I have tried renaming the Slcache and other folder, no joys, un-installing + reinstalling, no joys.  Isee a previous fix but I don;t seem to be able to do the ALT and SHIFT click on the shortcut I don;t get any option for a resetting preferences.

 

Lightroom 11.2

Win 10 21H1

    Cheers that guide helped, ALT shift couldn;t get to work, but manually going and renaming the prefs file seems to have done it.  It now launches and has told me I need to upgrade the catelog, is that expected?

    Ah ok, so my entire library now seems to show my images as no longer there, do I need to run a full sync against the folders?
