Question

My lightroom app is no longer opening on my Mac. I've restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom, signed out and logged back into Adobe Creative Cloud, and Lightroom still will not open.

I’m trying to open the Lightroom desktop app on a 2021 Macbook Pro. It looks as if the app starts to open, but then crashes immediately. I’ve tried restarting my laptop, uninstalling and reinstalling lightroom, and signing out/signing back into the Adobe Creative Cloud app. I’m still able to access other Adobe products on the laptop, it’s just Lightroom itself that’s unable to open. I can’t provide any screenshots, since the app itself won’t open. 

 

It’s not Lightroom Classic, but the new Lightroom app.
