Hi,

We're sorry about the trouble with Lightroom Classic 10.3. Are you getting an error while trying to launch Lightroom Classic saying that the catalog is locked? If you do, you can try going to the location where the catalog is saved (the default location is the Pictures folder) & check if you see a file ending in .lock. If you do see that, delete the file & then try launching Lightroom Classic.

For the missing images, if you have an exclamantion mark [!] on the top right of the image thumbnails, you can check: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/locate-missing-photos.html

Let us know if it helps!

Regards,

Nikunj

Where do you keep the photos? What drive?
