All of my files in Lightroom Classic atre showing as 'missing' and int eh Develop module have the message 'The file could not be found'.  I followed the instructions in the Adobe Help to reconnect the images to the folders (which were not moved or relabelled) but when I have shut down and reopened the laptop (Windows) the links were broken again.  Any ideas or fixes would be much appreciated.  Thanks

Are these photos on an external hard drive?

If so, is that hard drive setup in Windows with a permantly assigned drive letter?

Whatever drive, have you tested/checked the drive for problems?

Thanks GoldingD.  This was very helpful.  I have now assigned a premanent drive letter and re-mapped the folders so fingers crossed it is all OK now.
