Lightroom 6 (standalone version) freezes at startupscreen

i have lr 6 standalone version on windows 8.1 computer
last saturday usual made backup @ closing lr.
sunday when started lr6 freezes @ startup page.
i shut down, did second start ... same result.

then, thought maybe latest backup corrupted, tried open previous backup > same result: freeze @ startup

 

looking on internet read .lockfiles (which should automatically removed shutting lr down)
there indeed .lockfiles. tracked them down using explorer , did remove them.
new startup > still freezes @ startupscreen

 

i moved catalogus , backup , preview files harddisc.
made new attempt open lr: still freezes! grrr.

 

what other opions can try work again?

! didn't install new plugins, didn't upgrade (there wasn't ;-) )
i hope has solution.

hi rob,

 

go device manager , disable graphics adapter there , make changes lightroom preferences.

 

open control panel

click on device manager

right click on graphics processor listed under display adapter.

click on disable.

 

open lightroom<< go preferences<< go performance tab << uncheck gpu

restart lightroom.

 

go device manager.

right click on graphics processor listed under display adapter.

click on enable.

hope helps.

regards,
