    Hi there, 

     

    Sorry that you cannot open the Lightroom desktop app as it's showing an error "Fatal database" and refuses to  load images.

     

    Would you mind checking out this article https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/kb/unable-to-move-some-photos.html and let us know if that helps? 

     

    Thanks,

    Akash

    Agreed.  I am experiencing the same issues. I've done every kind of troubleshooting.  Please someone advise about why all of a sudden Lightroom wont import photos (worked for years flawlessly until two weeks ago).  Everything except Lightroom software recognizes my cards and my photos.  Help!
