    I tried using a backuo. That wokred but now LRC crashes and says there are catlog problems that it will attempt to fix next time I start LRC. This happens each time. Going  to contact support.

    You may have a catalog problem.

    Will any of your Backup Catalogs update? 

    If not, I would recommend contacting Support as they have the ability to repair your live catalog and return it to you, and then you can reattempt the upgrade.

    "Fails" is not very useful a word for people trying to help fix the problem. Please describe what happens in detail. Please provide any error messages, exactly, word-for-word, unedited, verbatim.

    Windows 11. I install 13 and when it starts it asks to upgrade the catalog. The upgrade to the new catalog format fails to complete

    I refer to the technote and make sure the lock file is deleted. I have made sure windows is fully updated. MUltiple attempts give me the same error. I have had to revert to LRC 12.5 for now
