Reconnect missing file error

I just converted my catalog from PE 2021 to 2024.  Everything seems to be working well.  Except that when I run Reconnect missing files, the program runs thru all my directories to try to reconnect some missing files.  But when I click "Browse", there are no missing files shown in the window for reconnecting.  When I run Find Missing Files, it finds none.  When I ran repair catalog, it found nothing to repair.  I said repair anyway.  But it still tries to find missing files when I run reconnect missing files.  There would be no problem if I did not run reconnect.  But this certainly extends the time to do a catalog backup, since it automatically runs reconnect missing files before moving to other steps in the backup process.  Any suggestions to make it stop?
