Today's Question: I downloaded and installed new Lightroom via Adobe Creative Cloud and it won't start! I still have Lightroom 5.7 and it works. All files seem to be there, but nothing happens when try to launch the new version. I tried reinstalling and same problem. Do you know of a solution?

Start Lightroom while holding the Shift + Option (macOS) or Shift + Alt keys (Windows). A dialog box asks if you want to Reset Preferences or Start Normally. Move the catalog folder out of your Pictures folder, so Lightroom can't automatically find it. When you get a dialog that asks you where it is, there is also an option to create a brand new one. Do that and see if that works. 3: It could be the application itself, so uninstall and reinstall. I recently installed Lightroom 6 perpetual license on a Surface Pro 3. The install was successful and I started and used the program two to three times without issue. Now Lightroom won't start. I can get to the splash screen but the blue circle indicator spins and a message in the title bar says Lightroom is not responding. Other users on a Lightroom forum have reported the same issue.
Tim's Quick Answer: You should be able to resolve this issue by signing out of Creative Cloud on your computer, and then signing in again.
More Detail: I received several emails from readers who were having this problem with the new installation of Lightroom CC. All of the readers who wrote indicated they were using (or attempting to use) Lightroom on a Windows-based computer, but I'm not sure if this problem is specific to Windows.

However, it does appear that the solution is simply a matter of signing out of your Creative Cloud account on that computer and then signing back in again. I have received follow-up emails from several readers confirming this, after they were informed of this workaround by Adobe's technical support.
