"Lightroom ran into a problem with your local catalog and must either quit or restart."
I try to restart and nothing happens. Same error forever. I've tried reinstalling, rolling back to other versions, and reinstalling CC. Problem persists. What is this, and why can't I edit my photos.
I'm on Windows 10, latest versions, drivers, etc.
Thank you.

On Windows10, the local catalog is stored in C:>users>username>AppData>Local>Adobe>Lightroom CC>Data. Delete the "Data" sub-folder, then restart Lightroom.
My experience with this seemed to be tied to using Google Drive. I turned Google Drive off, and the error did not occur. I turned Google Drive back on and the error reappeared. My Google Drive setting is now set to not backup that folder. An attempt to rename the Lightroom Library.lrlibrary file did not work. After renaming that file and having Google Drive on, I could see a new Lightroom Library.lrlibrary file created, but the error reoccurred.
