After updating PS yesterday I went to LRC to open an image I wanted to play with the new features of PS.
Clicked the LrC icon and the spinning blue symbol appeared for a couple of seconds then stopped - no Lightroom.
After trying multiple times to open LrC. I shut down PC.

Restarted PC this morning. LRC icon still there - same happened.

Uninstalled LrC
Checked Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features and LrC not visible.

Reinstalled LrC. Both times the installed version of LrC is 12.3

Tried to open LrC. Same problem. Tried the Adobe help system - no success.

Tried a right click on the LrC icon - Showed "Recent " starting with Lightroom Catalogues v 12.3 and about 10 older versions, then the LrC icon.

Any suggestions ?

50 minutes later problem fixed! The issue started with the update of Photoshop yesterday. Adobe narrowed it down to an update of my graphics card GeForce. LR crashed when I tried to start it. Adobe updated the driver and tracked down the locked Catalog - Almost had heart failure when he clicked on a backup from 2018 - I called it in time so he resorted the list of backups and got to most recent.

Overall, a huge Thank You to Adobe. Also thank you to rcarol.
