[ak2005bluestacks]

Lightroom Version

Lightroom Classic Version 10.0

Operating System

1. Windows 10

Hey yall i recently reinstalled LR on my computer and when i went to reopen my last used catalog it did not open itself and took a lot of time. After referring some videos, I removed the .lrcat.lock file. Even after that nothing happened and the same problem persists.

This is the message that lightroom displays. My catalog is a pretty big one can this be the reason?

Plus whenever i try to open my catalog these 2 files are created then immediately disappear what should i do next guys i really need this catalog fast pls do help me
PS: I am kinda a noob in Lr so pls dont go harsh. Have a great day!!!

The green and blue icons suggest that these files (and so your catalog) is stored in some synced folder. I would start trouble shooting by removing the catalog form any sync service.

First, try if resetting the preferences solves it: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/
If that doesn't work either, then try if Lightroom will create and open a new catalog (hold the ALT key while you start Lightroom to get a dialog that allows you to select another catalog or create a new one).

My other catalogs are getting opened with no issue whatsoever it is with that one specific catalog that i need the mostt. I also resetted the preferences.

Then it looks like that catalog is corrupted. What sometimes works (apart from replacing this catalog by a backup copy) is this: create a brand new catalog, choose ‘Import from Another Catalog’ and select your old catalog to import. Check that all images are imported, and that the images are not moved. If this works, then your new catalog will be a copy of the old one, but without the corruption. The only thing that won’t come across is any publishing services you may have.
