I tried opening up a different catalog and get this:

Much appreciated. Took some doing to find the LOC file. (It was in a Users subdirectory- a couple levels deep.)
I deleted the file and LrCC opened right up.

Thank you
I removed the .Lock file and all is good again.
Thank you.
I will make sure I shut Lightroom down before I shut my computer down.
Thanks again........
