Firstly apologies, I only seem to find time these days to visit this forum when I've got a problem!
Yesterday Lightroom crashed (or my computer otherwise locked up) when I was closing Lightroom and doing a back up. After waiting an hour or so I eventually had to kill the process and restart the computer.
When I opened Lightroom today all seemed well: it opened where I left it yesterday and I had not lost any edits. For some reason I went to check my preferences and it again locked up. I again had to kill the process and restart the computer. Lightroom again opened ok.
Prior to this Lightroom had been completely stable. I'm not sure when I updated to 9.1 but I guess it was last December immediately it became available and it has been fine until now.
Before I do any more work in Lightroom, is there any way to check if the catalog is corrupt? Should I be reinstalling Lightroom and reverting to the previous catalog back up ? Or do I just carry on and wait until it crashes again?
Thanks for your advice.
