Agreed.  I am experiencing the same issues. I've done every kind of troubleshooting.  Please someone advise about why all of a sudden Lightroom wont import photos (worked for years flawlessly until two weeks ago).  Everything except Lightroom software recognizes my cards and my photos.  Help!

Hi there, 

Sorry that you cannot open the Lightroom desktop app as it's showing an error "Fatal database" and refuses to  load images.

Would you mind checking out this article https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/kb/unable-to-move-some-photos.html and let us know if that helps? 

Thanks,

Akash
