HI everyone.
my Lighroom won't launch in Win10, I have tried deleting the preferences file under
C:\Users\Khosrow Jalali\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences but no change.
I don't have a backup of my system unforetunately, so it doesn't help.
I also tried holding the <Shift> <Alt> keys when launching LRC however nothing happens. Can anyone suggest something?

Hey Khosrow, We're sorry for the trouble you have experienced with Lightroom.
I'll need more details to help you. What version of Lightroom and operating system are you using? Is your catalog stored on an internal or external drive? How many images were there in the catalog?
Please check here for the steps to solve a corrupt catalog in Lightroom: https://adobe.ly/3TMLMEp
You can also check in this Community post where similar issue discussed and also steps provided to solve the issue: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/corrupted-catalog/td-p/9977195
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks,
Shivani

Why do you think your catalog is corrupt? Please provide details.
If you are getting a message that Lightroom Classic needs to repair your catalog (you didn't say this was the message), then I would agree your catalog is corrupt. Corrupt catalog, if it can't be repaired, and no backups, I think you have to start over. Your current catalog is gone, will never come back.
From now on, make regular and automated backups of your catalog file and all of your photos (and anything else that you want to be sure to have in case of some type of catastrophe).

I reread your original post, I don't see where you said that "On launch LRC is giving me an error message that "Lightroom Catalogue" is corrupt"
I did ask for more details. My very first paragraph above asked for more details.
