Will do, I can run all of the other Adobe products however so how do I disable my GPU in preferences. Additionally, earlier this year lightroom was bugged for me and when refreshing my license it kept saying I didn't own it however when I clicked through it always said I had and therefore I haven't been able to use it.
Having the same issue in the past couple of days, having used Lightroom successfully on my Mac for a few months now. Any suggestions for a fix for Macs?
Getting a slightly different problem but Lightroom doesn't want to open anymore: Bought a new Mac M1 Mini and transferred my system to it - now everything is running in OS 11 Big Sur Tried to open Lightroom today but it won't open.
Am told I need "Adobe Application Manager" to run the product.
Well, do I ?
Never had a problem with it before on my MacPro and I can't see how to actually get the Application Manager.
I did this and reset my preferences however upon re opening I am still promted by the "Lightroom needs to restart to clean up a few things" and still stuck in this loop.
@Pixcels which Lightroom version are you running? The message about the installer needing an updated makes it sound like LR6 or earlier, which won't install on Big Sur because the installer has 32-bit components. You'd need one of the current versions on a subscription.

Oh Poo. Well I am now out of the Adobe loop - as I have previously purchased outright my copies of Photoshop (6 versions) and Lightroom (all the updates to 6)
I am not prepared to now go down the subscription software route so it looks as though this is the final parting of the waves for me and Adobe.
I have used the Adobe products for about 25 years and unfortunately will now have to say goodbye after investing £1000s in software and countless hours in acquiring the skills to use it.
Im on Mac and facing the same problem - I uninstalled and reinstalled twice, I reset preferences, I deleted the cache, I signed out and signed back into creative cloud; all to no avail - any help to resolve this would be much appreciated.
to add - I also uninstalled all my adobe apps and uninstalled creative cloud - reinstalled creative cloud and only installed Lightroom - unfortunately still getting the same error
another update - I used the adobe creative cleaner tool to remove all adobe files on my laptop. I then reinstalled cloud and Lightroom again (nothing else) - still getting the message:
"Lightroom needs to restart to clean some things up for you."
I tried to install older versions of lightroom (the ones available on CC - versions 4.0 and 3.4) - unfortunately that didn't work either, still getting the same message. I feel the next step is to updgrade my OS to Big Sur (which I do not want to do)
