    Share a screen shot here of your Lightroom so we can confirm which app you are looking at. Most likely you opened Lightroom by mistake, not Lightroom Classic.

    First of all, this sounds like you are using Lightroom Classic, or some predecessor, not Lightroom (cloud). Can you confirm that by going using 'Help - System info'? If you are indeed, then check that Lightroom did not create a new catalog. Search your Pictures folder for files with a ".lrcat" file extension.
