Lightroom won't open on macOS (Error code 205)

Question

I can't open Lightroom anymore on my computer. "Sorry, Lightroom has encountered an error and needs to close. Refer to error code 205." I have uninstalled it and re-installed, restarted computer. Help, please! I am on a Mac computer using Lightroom CC.

Hi there,

We're sorry about the trouble that you see with Lightroom.

What version of macOS and Lightroom are you using? Do you see this error message on Launch?

Since when are you noticing this?

Error Code 205 indicates the downloaded file was corrupted. Please try an alternate Internet browser and turn off the firewall (If any) during download.
