Question

Lightroom Classic startet seit 2 Tagen nicht mehr

Hallo, ich habe einen Apple Mac M1 Max mit b64 GB und macOS Sonoma 14.3.1 und habe Lightroom Classic seit einigen Jahren regelmäßig problemlos benutzt. Seit 2 Tagen startete LR ohne eine Fehleranzeige plötzlich nicht mehr. Ich habe das Programm deinstalliert (mehrfach) und nach mehreren Versuchen auch meinen Katalog deinstalliert und heute die neueste Version von LR Classic installiert ohne Erfolg. Alle anderen Programme (LR CC, Photoshop und Photoshop Beta) funktionieren weiterhin. Für Hilfe und/oder Vorschläge zur Behebung des Problems wäre ich sehr sehr dankbar.

Do you have tried to reset the Lightroom preferences to the default settings?

If no, please follow the steps below:

  • Close Lightroom.
  • Windows: Hold down [Alt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
    Mac: Hold down [Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
  • Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.
  • Close Lightroom.
  • Restart Lightroom.

 

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

Another try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

Thank you, I tried this and it didn`t work unfortunately. My Problem is that I can`t open Lightroom Classic at all, even after resetting the LRC preferences. Don`t know how to switch off the GPU support from LRC when it isn`t on.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Your oroginal post was moved to the correct forum. Hopefully, this will lead to your issue with LrC not starting being addressed. In the meantime, please check whether there is a file with the extension 'lrcat-lock' in the folder that contains your LrC catalog. If yes, then delete file and check whether LrC now launches.
