Lightroom classic freezes while starting

[sam.henri]

Hey everybody,

my Lightroom Classic CC freezes every time when I try to open the program.

It's like that for the past few weeks but I cant fix it. 

Sometimes it just takes a few minutes but often I have to restart 5-6 times...

Has someone an idea or the same problem?

What plug-ins are you using? Please list all of them that are installed.

Hi, 

I'm sorry, but where can I find the plug-ins?

Go to File> Plug-in Extras and post a screenshot of the dropdown list showing your installed plugins.

Please check out these options for getting past the freeze.

The one I'd focus on is if your catalog is corrupted. Once you've started (I gather you can but with difficulties) open one of your backup catalogs (you do have them, yes?). If you do not have any backup catalogs than...

If you can get past the freeze, creat a new catalog and then you will restart as you start using that new catalog. You will have no images in this new catalog. Import a few images and see if you can work with them. See if you crash or not. If no crash, than see how to recover the older catalog. (Warning, this is not often successful).

Good luck!
