Since I upgrade to LrC version 10 I have ad problem when starting LrC.
Every time I start LrC, through the exe file, I have a question asking me to upgrade the catalogue file or select another catalogue. Pls refer to attached picture (unfortunately in Swedish).
I did this upgrade of the catalogue the first time I started version 10. I hade hoped that this problem should be solved in a one of the upgrades but alas it is still there.
If I start LrC from the catalogue file (Lightroom Catalog-v10-2.lrcat) it starts correctly.
I have LrC version 10.11 on a PC with Windows 10 (19041.685).

In Preferences, look at the General tab, what is selected for Default Catalog?

Here's a screen capture. Choose the upgraded catalog here. You will see that I have renamed my upgraded catalog and removed the v-10 from the name. This isn't required.

Thanks for your info.
I have changed the name to the new catalogue and licked on OK.
However, when I start LrC again (from start) I still get the same question.
The default catalogue is changed back to “Read the last catalogue used”.
Maybe I should try ad copy he catalogue to a new name and test that.

With LrC closed, reset your preference file: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/
Then open LrC and set the preferences again to point the exact file you want to launch.
