Lightroom CC 2015 will not start

Downloaded and installed Lightroom CC 2015 on PC running Windows 8.1. The program would not start with all usual methods. Restarted computer several times and also uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom CC 2015. It should be noted that  Lightroom 5.7.1 seems to operate normally. I see one other person has experienced similar problems. Any help would be appreciated.

The solution for most folks is to open their Creative Cloud App, click the gear, click Preferences, Sign Out and then Sign back in.
If that doesn't get it,

  • Lightroom CC (2015) will not launch after install removed and re installed and re boot nothing!

    Lightroom CC 2015 was installed today via Creative Cloud but will not open, removed program and re installed still nothing. Did a reboot and still nothing. Creative Cloud says that it is installed.
    Windows 7
    Thank's for any help!

    Update:  the trick is to try it over and over and over again.  CC desktop warns it wants me to register my product and complete a profile (bizarre.)  But it is updating the catalog now so I presume it will work.
    Have same problem.   Shows installed; I found "Adobe LIghtroom.app" which was installed today 1.51gb; when I click on it it flashes and then nothing.  I restarted the mac, restarted the CC app, nothing.   Very frustrating and makes me wonder if the Cloud solved any problems for me.

  • Lightroom CC (2015) will not open

    Installed Lightroom CC (2015) and the app will not open. OS is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    OK, just found the solution on one of the other forums:  DON'T "quit" CC you must sign out instead
    Click on your CC icon.
    Click on the gear icon.
    Click on Preferences.
    Sign out of CC.
    Sign back in.
    Don't click on "Quit."
    I had been QUITTING CC and relaunching. Try signing out.
    This worked and everything seems to be fine. Dave

  • Lightroom cc 2015 does not start

    Installed Adobe lightroom cc 2015 a half an hour ago. Unfortunately it does not start. No error message - just nothing. Tried various compatibility modes. I'm logged into Win 8.1 with admin rights. Does anybody have an idea?

    Try signing out of the Creative Cloud app and then sign back in.
    1) Click on the gear icon.
    2) Select 'Preferences' and then sign out in the 'General' tab.
    3) Sign back in.
    4) Retry launching LR CC.

  • Lightroom cc 2015 will not open after install today, 4/24/15

    Today, 4/24/15, downloaded and installed Lightroom cc 2015 on my WIN 7 Dell 8300 Desktop machine.  The Icon appears on the desktop but it won't open.  I located the .exe file and double clicked on it and it won't open either.  The installed program listing indicates that Lightroom was installed today but it won't open.  I am currently running Lightroom 5.x, Photoshop cc 2015 and they still boot ok; they were also updated this afternoon.  Anybody have the same experience and figure out what needs to be done to fix the install?
    Bob F

    Robert-
    please try signing out and back in (different from quitting the app) see this link:
    sign in and sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app
    IF that doesn't help, please see option 2 at this link:
    Lightroom doesn't launch or quits automatically after splash screen

  • Just downloaded new Lightroom CC (2015) (i.e. Lightroom 6), and it will not start

    OK just downloaded Lightroom CC (2015) (aka Lightroom 6), Windows 7 laptop, and the program will not start.  I have Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5.x, etc, and all run a-okay, no need for admin start, etc.
    Side note - as is typical for Adobe installations on my systems, program installs do not place an icon on my desktop, requiring I go to the Adobe folder off Programs to find the EXE file, and "send to" desktop as a shortcut. 
    That issue aside, I located the Lightroom EXE file in the "Lightroom" folder (note it is not labeled Lightroom CC or Lightroom 6), and tried to start by double clicking - no response.  Then tried right clicking, run as admin, no response.  Uninstalled, reinstalled, tried same startup procedures, no response.  Rebooting does nothing to help either.
    Note Lightroom 5.7.1 starts up as normal.
    Help.....? I leave tomorrow on a photo trip and would like to use the new LR version.

    thanks for your reply. i'm not quiting the adobe cloud, i'm signing off then back in entering my email and my password.... tried to reboot, reinstall, sign off from the app and from the web also ... and did not fix the problem. this is very frustrating because i have no splash screen, no error message. There's some log files somewhere ?
    anyways the 5.7.1 is working fine, and i can work. thanks god, the CC thingy did not removed the old one and i can work and deliver the pictures tomorrow

  • Lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

    lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

    Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
    I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
    If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
    Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.

  • I just "upgraded"????? to Lightroom CC, now it will not start on Windows 7.  can someone help me?

    I had Lightroom 5 and the creative cloud photographer bundle.  upgraded (some joke) to Lightroom CC and no lightroom will not start on Windows 7.  just dead in the water. any help?

    The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
    Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
    This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.
