lightroom classic appears to load but nothing appears on the desktop.  I checked the Task Manager which reported it running.  Lightroom and Photoshop run without a problem.

Hi @Whimsical_Crystal4259, welcome to the community!
I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue on my end. Could you let us know which version of Lightroom Classic you’re using? Also, if you force quit the app and try opening it again, does that resolve the problem?
Thanks so much!
Alek

Good Morning

I am currently on the current version of LRC and I have shut LRC down and brought it back up with the same problem. I then tried deleting and reinstalling same problem.

Photoshop and LC worked fine which enabled me to do prints I had been working on.

Thanks for the reply

Can you unzip a recent backup of your Lightroom Classic catalog file, then double-click on the unzipped file to see if it opens?
