Opened lightroom to export a couple files and was greeted with the update windw.  I clicked I got it and when the program opened 20 years of parent folders labeled by the year are showing Zero photos. when I open a folder the photos seem to all be there I have not checked every folder yet.

 

How can this be fixed it used to say 2019  12,000  so I kne how many photos were in each year.  Scren shot attached

I did not look at the screenshot, but if that is indeed the issue then @GoldingD is correct that it is just this simple setting that apparently got reset during the upgrade.

Try resetting the preferences of Lightroom Classic:   https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/setting-preferences-lightroom.html

 

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

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

If resetting the preferences does not help, then open the catalog folder and trash the "catalogname helper.lrdata".
