I've been using LR 9.2.1 for several weeks without issues. Suddenly, when I opened it today, it seemed to think I'd chosen a very old catalog, and that this needed to be updated to the current format. So I picked the proper catalog. One thing I did wrong at this stage was that the EHD with the photos wasn't attached, so I closed LR, attached the EHD, and restarted LR. (FWIW, this is a common oversight of mine and it never created a problem, just a blizzard of ?'s). Now it found the files. But it started giving me "tips" as it would if I was just starting out. I can stop this easily, but I don't know why I'm getting it. Also my rearranged develop panels have reverted to a different arrangement, likely a default one. I haven't poked around yet to see what else is different.
I've read here that one way to cope with weirdness is to reset the Preferences file. I can do this but it seems like a bit of pain if there is something going on that's easier to fix.
Related question, does the catalog include things like the panel settings, or is that in the Preferences file?
