Lightroom Classic Error "An error prevented LRC from opening catalog.

[Cbethan01]

Hello, I am running Win 11 and I am having a problem opening LRC, I get the error message an error prevented LRC from opening a catalog.  I am able to open Lightroom without a problem, it is just LRC.  I have already tried going to .lrcat-data folder and removing CURRENT, it did work.   Can someone share easy step by step instructions on how to fix please?  TY

I found my own answer, I pressed the ALT key whichle opening LRC at the same time and created a new CURRENT file.

Neither of these solutions worked for me, but I recovered the catalog by opening a new catalog, and importing from the one that LR wouldn't open directly. It was extremely slow, but worked perfectly, with no apparent loss of edits.

Thank you this worked for me though I didn't name it Current - I gave it a different name for me to recoginise.
