Lightroom Classic crashes at start Sonoma 14.4.1

I took a look at your crash history. 

I noticed that you have only crashed since the 13.2 update, and no crashes have appeared for 13.1, 13.0.2, or 13.0.1.  The crashes start with version 13.2, and many pre-date the macOS 14.4.1 updates.  What's odd is that you have 13 distinct crashes in your history.  That is very unusual and typically points to a problem with your installation. 

My recommendation is to do a preference reset followed by a clean reinstall of Lightroom. 

This procedure works for both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop.

If you are using Lightroom Desktop, your local storage location can be changed. Please review this setting after resetting preferences. 

Reset Procedure:

1. Close Lightroom.

2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.

3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.

4. Close Lightroom.

5. Restart Lightroom.

Clean Lightroom Install Procedure

1. Close Lightroom
2. Restart the computer
3. Use the Adobe Creative Cloud App to uninstall Lightroom
4. Restart the computer
5. Install Lightroom via the Creative Cloud App without launching any other programs.
6. Restart the computer
7. Launch Lightroom
8. Wait 5 minutes
   
   If, after this process, you crash again, please resubmit your crash report and respond in this thread when you have done so. 
   
   Thanks!
