Problem
Lightroom updated it's version and stuck on startup at "reading preferences" screen everytime I try to use Lightroom 11.2 or older.
Computer is Macbook pro 13inch Big Sur 11.6.5 (cannot be upgraded further)
Steps I tried that didn't work
What works
Conclusion
Adobe's bug? Not sure how to proceed.

Exactly the same. Anything above version 11.1 doesn't work. Anything below and including version 11.1 works fine. I replicates this over and over again with multiple versions.

Try starting up in Safe mode (hold down Shift Key when booting), still crashing?
You might want to try running a free utility like Onyx: still crashing?
