LR Classic will not start in OS 11.6

Lightroom Classic will not start - trying to launch from Creative Cloud results in icon appearing in dock and a dot appearing under it for a second and then dissapearing.

I was running the last version of stand alone LR (6) and upgraded OS system and found that LR would open after I upgraded OS 10.15 to but would then crash after a few minutes.  Looking online it appeared that it was not compatable 10.15 so I bit the bullet and signed up for CC with LR. 

After downloading CC and LR and LR Classic I was able to open Lightroom but not Lightroom Classic.  I then updated to OS 11.6 and tried again with no change.  I have also signed in and out of CC.

Currently running OS 11.6 on an older Macbook Pro (mid-2014).  CC tells me LR Classic is up to date.

Lightroom (not classic) opens fine.

Any suggestions on what to try?
