Now use version 4.1 It is not possible to export an image with this version.
Deleted all files and did a clean install. The result is the same.
Again all files removed and a clean installation done now with version 4.2 (latest new one) Now I don't even see any images, and there is no synchronization. It is also not possible to save settings with this version.

Were your images synced to the cloud prior to the removal you did to perform the clean install of 4.2?

Images are synchronized from Lightroom CC on another PC.
If I use lightroom on my phone, it is no problem, export and synchronization work perfectly.
After the last update to 4.2 (Automatic) the problem started.
All files are local on the server and are synced to the cloud (with the mobile app on my phone everything works properly)
Lightroom 4.2 does not show images
Lightroom 4.1 shows images but export will not work.
Next action taken.
(Windows 10) Locally deleted all files, registry entries and images. (clean installation)
No images with 4.2
Again Locally deleted all files, registry entries and images. (clean install 4.1) Images are "downloaded" but still no export possible.

A Preference File will survive a Lightroom uninstall/reinstall. Sometimes weird behavior is corrected/cured by resetting the preferences.

Reset Procedure:

1. Close Lightroom.

2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.

3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.

4. Close Lightroom.

5. Restart Lightroom.

Does the behavior continue after resetting the preferences?

This is not a solution. With version 4.1 I still can't export anything.
Version 4.2 cannot connect to the cloud, nor does it show any images.
In the versions now completely reinstalled started with shift / alt then closed PC restarted and lightroom started.
The images can be exported with LR mobile and Lightroom CC

What is your current OS Version Number?

Do you have a firewall whose settings may need to be updated to accommodate 4.2

Do you get any error messages you can share?

Windows 10 Pro N
Version 20H2
build 19042.867
Firewall disabled on PC makes no difference for 4.1 and 4.2 behavior and problem is the same.

no error messages on 4.1 but export starts and hangs.
With 4.1 I can sync images with the cloud (no export, no error messages). After this update to 4.2 even images are no longer visible. If I look at settings, I see the meldin not connected to the cloud

When creating a log file in version 4.2, it "hangs" halfway. This must be done after half an hour.
Log file 4.1 has been created, which files am I going to upload and how?
Just for the sake of completeness, just reinstalled 4.0.
There are no problems with this version. Can export and see all images.
After an update to 4.1 I can see all the images but I cannot export them.
After an update to 4.2 I can see the number of images in the catalog, but I don't see any images.

I have emailed you to obtain the 4.1 diagnostic log. 

Make sure the log was made after a failed export.

The engineer reviewed the new files you sent. Thank you. 

Question: Have you done anything recently around Watermarking? If you clear watermarking in the Export settings, do the files export? 

This could have happened on another device. Any watermarking work at all?

Version 4.0 with watermark just export the photo.
Update to 4.1 via cloud, same settings as 4.0
version 4.1 without watermark export works, with watermark no export.
Watermarked image (* .png) redownloaded, still does not export the photo.
(LichtroomMobile works fine with this watermark.)

If you delete the watermark from Lightroom (4.1) allow those changes to sync, will 4.2 install, launch and show all the images?

if not,

if you create a different watermark with a different generic PNG file and allow it to sync will will 4.2 install, launch and show all the images?

Note: you may also need to remove the watermark from your other synced devices temporarily.

Thanks for the above work. The team is evaluating.

We're logging a bug for the failure to launch 4.2 but will need some investigation time. 
Your best option is to work in 4.1 with Watermark turned off for now and use iOS if you need a watermark export while we continue investigating.

We're still having a hard time reproducing this problem. I would love to get a volunteer or two who cannot export with watermarking enabled to try out one of our prerelease builds where we can turn on some additional logging. We would grant you access to these not-yet-released builds, which are downloaded from the same Creative Cloud app you normally would use. Any takers?
