LR Classic won't open on Windows 10

LightRoom Classic won't open on my PC, running Windows 10.

I have tried:

1-reinstalling.

2-starting from an older, backed-up catalog;

3-moving the catalog to a different file location.

So far, nothing works.

In some operations, I get a message I can't do something because LR is open.  But it isn't.

In my file manager, files called <wal> and <shm> are flashing off and on.  

Any ideas?

Thanks.  I tried to open a Lightroom catalog from an external hard drive and got the same "Lightoom-Opening Catalog spring summer fall" banner, without any catalog opening.

If you are willing to share- Put one of your catalogs (the .LRCAT file only)  into a compressed ZIP folder and attach it to a post. This might prove if it can be opened by somene else, and the problem is specific to your PC system.

 

Also, from the MENU in Lightroom-Catalog: Open the report from Help > System Info....  and copy&paste the top 10 lines into a reply.

 

And, can you create new catalogs in LrC?

 

 

 

Regards. My System: Lightroom-Classic 13.2 Photoshop 25.5, ACR 16.2, Lightroom 7.2, Lr-iOS 9.0.1, Bridge 14.0.2, Windows-11.

Rob, I can't open Lightroom at all, so I can't get to a menu or create a new catalog.
