Question

How to remove this message: "Your Lightroom Library is Empty"? - Photoshop 2020

After I updated both Lightroom Classic to v9.2  and Photoshop to 2020, when I open PS I get a message "Your Lightroom Library is Empty". The message goes on to suggest I may installed Lightroom on my desktop. Wouldn't my recent update of these two programs provide them both with the common knowledge that I already have Lightroom installed?

 

OK, so after digging around the internet I am now aware that this message refers to a library of photos in the cloud. No, I have no photos in the cloud. I do not intend to use the cloud for the foreseeable future.

 

I prefer software that knows that I will be working with the assets locally, rather than with assets located on the internet.

 

How may I politely ask Photoshop 2020 to stop sending me this irrelevant message? Or, is there a way that photoshop could open to a different screen? Or would Adobe consider making the message more relevant to the fact that it is looking for a connection to photos stored on the cloud?

This question is now over five years old. 
I have the same issue. 
How come this hasn't been addressed?
