Hello

I am trying to open my LRC catalog and it never opens. I have tried to unintall but it will not let me becasue it lightroom is open. When I look in my task manager it is not running. I have resarted mt computer mulitple times.

This is remains on my screen untill i shut off my computer and then comes back when I try and open the catalog again.

I restarted my computor and this time it said lightroom is corrupt but the message went away before I could screen shot but that window went away and nothing happened. he same message as the last photo I posted previously remains on the screen

Have you tried clicking on the Cancel button that is displayed in the the first error message that you included in your post?

Hey @Tristen35406518vrvd, 

Please answer @DdeGannes question. I've also added a link to a post from him on a similar issue they helped with: https://adobe.ly/4mSmCzY

I will take a look and update with tips from that thread! Thank you!

[Tristen35406518vrvd]

Yes I have tried that, I press cancel and then it says the same message

Okay some new attempts I have made.

I tried some tips from the other thread that CMass linked, I have deleted the .SHM file, .WAL, and Lock file, no luck.

I tried Alt-click and opening LRC and nothing happens. 

This time when I opened LRC a message about the catalog being corrupt opens for a moment. There are noactinos to be taken and it loads for a second then the window closes itself. It goes back to the first image that i posted and nothing happens. 

I am unable to re-try to open lightroom unless I fully restart my laptop. 

Thank you all for your time and suggestions!

Even trying to open Lightroom not through a catalog does not work

Hey @Tristen35406518vrvd 
Quick question, do you see the same error when trying to open a backup catalog, or is it only happening with one specific catalog file?
Thanks so much!
