Unable to sucessfully launch LR Classic. Currently v10
Lightrro Classic is visible in Task Manager.
But never launches fully. I cant even end the task in Task Manager.
I have tried retsarts, reboots etc.
I even tried "Solution 2: Rename SLCache and SLStore folders" here (Lightroom doesn't launch or closes automatically after splash screen (adobe.com), which has helped me once in the past.
Also imporant to mention when last exiting LR Classic (when last run OK) it got hung optimizing the catalog during backup. I had no option but to force power off, as laptop totally locked up.
I would appreciate assistance to resolve start-up issue (without going back to older catalog backup etc.)
All other apps appear to work fine, just not LR Classic.

Did, perhaps, LrC not properly close? Did it leave a lock file behind?

No not really. I had to go back to earlier backups until I found one I could successfully open. But have never been able to backup ir optimize it. So have created a new catalogue for new images going forward. And only open and close old catalogue to access older images. Not ideal but i can live with that. Have tried importing old catalogue to new one, but same issue unfortunately.
