I an having trouble opening Lightroom classic in Windows 11. When i click on the icon to open it, it won't open at all. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it with no change still won't open. I have tried restarting my computer among a whole list of things that have been suggested with no changes. Has anyone else had this problem and do you know of a fix for this situation?

1. Check your Creative Cloud app to be sure your copy is current. Mine says there was an update three weeks ago and we are now on 12.2.1.

2. Try this forum full of Classic experts: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic/ct-p/ct-lightroom-classic?page=1&sort=latest_replies&lang=all&tabid=all

3. If that does not work, start a tech support chat here: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen

4. If you still have trouble, try a phone call to one of these numbers: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

Good luck!

Sometimes when that happens it means that the desktop icon is not referring to the correct file location. You can click on lightroom.exe from the Windows Program files menu.
