I installed Lr v5.7.1 and when I run it no window appears. I can see it in the Taskbar and Task Manager but its window never appears. I can right-click and close it normally.
Windows 10 Update crashed my Windows installation. So, I temporarily installed a second internal 80GB HD and installed Windows 7. I got Ps CS6 installed fine, but not Lr v5.7.1. I tried a lot of things even deleting the preferences file. I own the perpetual license for v5. I've had to install Lr v6 for a 30-day trial just to keep working.
 
PalaDolphin,
When you installed that second HDD, did you first remove the HDD with Windows 10?
 
Check your Windows display settings, do you have a second monitor defined? It sounds as though you may have, even though it doesn't exist, so LR5 is perhaps being launched on that non-existent display.
