"Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"

[KennyBrandon]

I keep receiving this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and the app won't open. It said LR would try and fix this error next time I opened it but the error remains. I tried uninstalled and installing the app and the error remains.

Any Ideas here? Is there another app that may be telling it where to look for the cache and it no longer there? I was using a ramdisk for a bit but ditched it. Not sure if that has something to do with it but it seems suspect.

Your thoughts?

I am still having this problem dispite doing all the suggestions here. It still keeps closing down with this annoying message, I cant even edit a picture without this happening. It has become pointless having this software when you cannot use it. (Windows 10 user)

Specifically, what have you tried? Do not answer "everything".

Hello guys. 
I work as a photo editor in Lightroom. I use the Lightroom catalog to send work to the client - photographers or other editors. We send to each other only exe-catalog .lrcat which content all the edits. 

Today I saw this error for the first time on my screen and I want to understand where it is coming from? I want to warn against this in the future.
Lightroom is asking me to fix this error during the next launch, it says the catalog is corrupted. So I also have a question, in this case, there is a rollback of those settings that have already been made in the catalog? I want not to miss any part of the job

Thanks

Hello @Viktor Domin the original post in this thread talked about "Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" now your are talking about "Lightroom is asking me to fix this error during the next launch, it says the catalog is corrupted." This is not the same error, as far as I can tell. I STRONGLY advise you to start a new thread and describe the problem in detail, including the EXACT word-for-word error message. I will be happy to try to help in a new thread. I will not discuss this further in this thread.
