Hello ! I have been using Lightroom v.6 since 2016 (purchased) (now with Windows 10), and lately would refuse to start (shows the first 'page' and shuts down after a few seconds). I uninstalled it, then re-installed, and samething ! I would appreciate if you could tell me what could be wrong. Thanks ! Rejean

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.
Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

If Lightroom doesn't start correctly the please see "Solution 2" in the document behind the link below.

Another step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:
