Why are my preferences tabs blank?

[austinl6195620]

All of the tabs from "external editing" to " network" are blank. The only ones with options is "general" and "presets". I have tried restarting my computer and re-installing LrC (I'm on a 2017 macbook running Monterey 12.6)

Likely a corrupt preference file.

The preference file can get corrupted leading to buggy behavior. A corrupt preference file will survive uninstalls, updates, and upgrades. By renaming or moving or deleting the preference file you create a situation where LrC will recreate a fresh new one upon startup of LrC. Be aware various settings will revert to defaults.
