Hi i have aprolbel with lightroom classic useing windows 11. Tried to open lightroom, but it will noty open, checked task manager and it shows in there. I can end the task and then try to reopen lightroom still no luck.

I unstall and reinstall lightroom, but it still  will not open all other adobe app work fine.

I have also reset the light room prefences.

When did LrC last work?

And at that time, did it close properly, or did you force quit it, or did it crash, or did the PC crash?

If LrC did not close properly, have you checked for an errant lock file?

If none of the above apply, have you considered resetting the preference file?
