[Chris Alison]

I successfully updated PSE 2024 and now have lost 70,000+ of organized and dated photos in the library!!!

is there anyway to get this back??

Restore from your backup catalogue.   You did make a complete backup, correct?

When I read "I updated PSE 2024"  do you mean from an earlier version, such as pse 2020?

If, as Glenn suggests, you have updated from an earlier version of Elements, it will be easier to simply Convert the old catalog to the new version, via the File>Manage Catalogs>Convert dialog. 

I am confident that you have not lost your catalogued photos.
