Lightroom will not launch

Downloaded LightroomCC, I select the app but it does not launch the program. Rebooted after download, same issue.

It won't work for me either.  It opens, tells me to upgrade my catalog, I accept, it upgrades the catalog and launches, and immediately goes to Not Responding at the launch screen.
Things I have tried:
- Waiting (an hour, nothing)
- Starting a new catalog (still freezes on launch)
- Exiting Creative Cloud
- Logging out and logging back in
- Restarting my computer
Nothing.

  • I was in Lightroom and had a power surge and now Lightroom will not launch....what can I do to fix it?

    I was in Lightroom and had a power surge and now Lightroom will not launch. It encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix the next time it launches. I have shut my system down and Lightroom still will not launch. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    delete your preview cache (.lrdata folder).
    Here has location:
    Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
    If not enough info, search this forum for "delete preview cache".

  • Lightroom wil not launch from creative cloud

    Lightroom will not launch from creative cloud

    It seems that many people have experienced this problem. Most have solved it by signing out from the creative cloud desktop application and signing back in. Here are instructions on how to do it:

  • After updating to Lightroom CC 2015, it will not launch when i click on the icon.

    After updating to Lightroom CC 2015, it will not launch when I click on the icon. A window gets up: "__crtCreateSymbolicLinkW" not found in DLL "MSVCR110.dll". Same failure occurs when I start Photoshop CC.

    Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

    Ever since upgrading to OS 10.9.5 Lightroom 5 will not launch. I even reinstalled it and it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    Hmmm.  You've tried normal reboot etc., I assume.  Repaired permissions?  Trashed the app before reinstalling?  Is this a CC version or perpetual license?  All other apps are opening ok?  Trashed Lightroom's preferences?  How do I delete the Lightroom Preferences file? - The Lightroom Queen Help Desk & Members Area - Powered by Kayako Resol…

  • Lightroom 3 Will not launch

    Windows 7 with lots of ram and I7 proc.
    LR3 has worked for years on this system.
    I have deleted the preference file.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, both from the origional disc and download from adobe.
    The software still will not launch.  How can I fix this?

    Well, it certainly sounds as though there's a possible problem within your user profile. How you proceed will largely be dependent upon the effort involved in moving all your settings (i.e. for all your other applications) over to a new account. For me it would be a bit of a PITA, though maybe something like WET (Windows Easy Transfer) could be used (it's intended use is to copy all your settings to a new installation, but it may be possible to use it in this context). Maybe a repair re-install of Windows 7 might fix it. Other than that, I'm fresh out of ideas, but maybe try the Windows 7 Forums, as this seems more of a Windows issue than a Lightroom problem?
    One last thought: does your own user account have admin privileges? Even if it does, have you tried right-clicking on the desktop icon for Lightroom and selecting "Run as administrator"?

  • Lightroom CC will not launch after install

    Hi,  installed Lightroom CC today twice but it will not launch. I uninstalled it, restarted then reinstalled it. In task manager you can see it show up for a second then it disappears. I have LR 5, PS CS6, PS CC, PS CC2014. Anyone having issues?

    Sign out worked when I did it correctly.  Be sure to go to Preferences in Creative Cloud & click the blue Sign Out button.  Then sign back on.

  • Photoshop CC will not launch after deleting and re-installing Lightroom

    Yesterday, I contacted Adobe support because I could not get my Lightroom trial version to convert to my CC subsciption. I was told to delete the Lightroom app by dragging it to the trash and re-installing. I did this, and it fixed my problem with Lightroom, but now my Photoshop CC will not launch. I am on Mac OS Mountain Lion. I have tried launching from the dock and from the finder both.

    Reinstall the original 5.2 and forget the CC version for now. It's exactly the same piece of software. What you did get was a second license, useful if you have more than two machines, but completely redundant if you haven't.
    The situation is different when Lr 6 comes out. You'll get that as part of CC and don't need to purchase the upgrade. So at that point you can just install CC and leave 5.x where it is.

  • Lightroom will not download on my laptop, i bought the package and lightroom wont launch into download

    i just bought the photoshop and lightroom package, ligthroom will not launch when i try to download on my laptop, help please

    It's probably dependant upon the version you download. I'd check into that vs the version of windows you're currently running.

  • Lightroom 5.5 will not launch after CC update

    My Lightroom 5.5 was working just fine.  Yesterday after doing an update on Creative Cloud, and rebooting the computer, LR will not launch.  When I click on the icon, it opens the splash page for a split second, then crashes.  Any suggestions of what may be happening and what to do?

    I had this issue with Photoshop on Windows from the very beginning of my subscription -- i.e. since end of last year. Now, after latest update Adobe managed to introduce same problem with LR 5.5. Here is how I "solved" it on Windows:
    I have two scripts that I am using to start PS and LR
    rd "%programdata%\adobe\slstore" /q /s
    rd "%CommonProgramFiles(x86)%\adobe\slcache\slconfigs" /q /s
    echo *** Start the sucker ***
    pushd %programfiles%
    "Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5\lightroom.exe"
    popd
    I don't have this problem on Mac and don't know where this cache lives there, but it should be somewhere. Idea is that you remove the cache and configuration, then start the app, it registers itself and starts. Unfortunately, I have to do it every time. Tech support have no clue about any solution for that, you have to ask them to transfer you to product support.
    Good luck,
    Sergei
