Lightroom Classic doesn't boot

Question

Hi. Hope someone can give me an assist. LR Classic wont boot or open. System says its open but the program itself does not show up or display its usual boot up process. I was able to boot up PS and PS Beta. But LR Classic wont show up. I was able to uninstall and reinstall and even uninstall and reinstall to an older version. Still not booting up. It was working this past week. I've restarted the computer and even made sure nothing is on while it boots up. But sadly no change. Ive checked GPU performance analysis and it says LR Classic is open but no activity.

Hope anyone can provide insight.

Make sure Lightroom is not running using the Taskmanager or after a fresh start of Windows.

Open the folder where your catalog (*.lrcat) is located.

Look for a *.lock file and delete it.

Try again and let us know if it helps.
