I did post this issue on this Forum sometime ago and received some helpful but unsuccessful suggestions to fix my problem. I also posted on the Adobe support forum and had many more, but still unsuccessful, suggestions. I've re-posted on that forum and am posting here again with the hope I could find some new help that would solve my problem.
To recap, this is my situation: Mac mini 2018 running macOS Monterey 12.3.1. LrC v11.0.1 installs and runs fine but when I attempt to upgrade to v11.1, 11.2, 11.3 or 11.3.1 or 11.4, Lightroom hangs on the splash screen, won't open my catalog and I have to do a force quit to close out. With the release of v11.4 I had hoped my issue had been resolved but still no luck. I have posted about this previously and those earlier posts describe all the numerous solutions that have been suggested by many good people on this and the Adobe forum. I've tried them all without success, except that I am able to open LrC v11.4 when I boot up in Safe mode. I've then tried one-at-a-time opening apps that run constantly in Normal mode but each time I was still able to launch v11.4. None of them prevented me from opening v11.4. I understand this must mean that something running in the background is preventing me from launching v11.4 but I would really like to have the list of suspects narrowed down. If I can't resolve this I might have to start looking at alternatives to LrC as it seems foolish to keep paying monthly for software that I can't use beyond v11.0.1. I really don't want to give up Lightroom. Any new thoughts or suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you.
