That moment when you are finished installing the latest operating system update and an update to Lightroom Classic and you go to open up Lightroom Classic and it tells you it cannot access the catalog file because the folder doesn’t give permission to save new files and you need to change the permissions of the folder or open up a new file. You spend several hours researching, changing permissions etc etc etc and still you are not able to access the catalog file that contains edits for over 100K files made over the last 20 years… I am not at full panic yet but soon may be…

@maique i am currently doing a global permissions change across the entire external hard drive i keep the files on in hopes that will fix things. Taking a long time because there is somewhere between 2-3 terrabites of data on that drive. Hoping either that solves the problem or it will become a known glitch leading to another update of either operating system or LrC
