Do you have tried to create a new catalog? Do you have one or more backups of your catalog? If yes, then try to open a backuped catalog.

Take a look here also:

Recover catalog and images after resetting preferences in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Another try is to deinstall Lightroom and reinstall it.

Back ups are too old.

Tried opening new catalogue/no success

Lightroom Classic won't even open now to say catalogue won't open.

Screen comes up  with mountain scene for Lightroom and it freezes.

Hi,

I have the same issue ! Catalogs don't open randomly or have to be repaired and the repair fails most of the time !!!

OS is Windows 10.
