Adobe Lightroom is a popular software for processing digital images. It is especially popular with photographers (amateur and professionals).
Lightroom allows you to make deep adjustments to images through an interface full of options and possibilities.
The software is available in two versions: Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Lightroom Classic. Both are very similar in terms of functionality, but the ‘Classic’ version offers greater file organization and filtering capabilities.
Recently, Adobe Lightroom Classic received the 11.3 update with some tweaks. However, according to multiple reports, the update is causing a crashing issue.
Adobe Lightroom Classic crashing after latest 11.3 update
The most recent Adobe Lightroom Classic 11.3 update brought an issue where the software is crashing during startup. Complete uninstall and reinstall of Lightroom Classic reportedly does not help resolve the glitch.
In some cases, users are able to run the software. However, Adobe Lightroom Classic crashes when opening the catalog file.
