V 12 Classic Update guidance is needed

Question

I updated my Lioghtroom Classc to the v12 today. Per the chat tech they advised that I no longer need to run the app on my Mac M1 Pro with ventura. Well, now I have a new collection titled "From Lightroom" with over 3100 photos with weird catalog names. Also, I am missing catalogs.

Any guidance on how to get this back to where it was prior to the update?

The update did create a new LRCAT file.

Thank you,

You do not want a "new LRCAT file"- You want the 'OLD' one!

Search your system for other LRCAT files using Finder, and [double-click] to 'open'. The catalog you want may have -v12 in the catalog name. (or -v11 if you upgraded from Classic v11).

Syncing the 'new' catalog has caused the "From Lightroom" situation.

I cannot answer the "weird catalog names" without more detailed explanations ( & screen-clips of what you are seeing).
