P: Hanging on launch (Mac 10.14.6)

I just upgraded Lightroom Classic from v 8.1.3 to 8.4.  It now hangs. I am on MacOS Mojave version 10.14.6. When reverting to v 8.1.3, Lightroom works fine. Are there compatibility issues with this version of Mojave? Thanks

Updates to Lightroom Classic, Camera Raw, and the Lightroom Ecosystem were released yesterday and contain a fix for this issue.  Please install the appropriate update and see if it solves this problem. You can read more about the updates here.

Thank you for your patience.

Yes. For your sanity, do a catalog backup or use the OS to duplicate the catalog (just the lrcat bit) before you uninstall, then you'll be doubly sure it's safe.

If you re-install will all of you albums stay in tact?  Thank you in advance.

Click on the Creative Cloud Manager from the tool bar and the drop down has three dots top right hand corner, the first option is "check for app updates" click on that and you'll then get the option to upgrade again.

I just did the same... 

Click on the three vertical dots and select check for upgrades and it sorts itself out!

When I click on upgrade, I still get version 8.4 with the same issue.  I don't have an option for 8.4.1.  Do you have a link?

Updated now and it opened an empty catalogue just fine, then swapped over to my normal one equally well...

It's looking good! (so far!)
