I booted up Lightroom to work on some photos. I got a strange screen. I do not have a local tab to retrieve my photos

Hey, @fmcnulty9. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

Could you share a screenshot of how Lightroom appears on your end? If you're on Lightroom Desktop, press P to open the left pane for Cloud & Local tabs.

Thanks!
