Q: Photos crashes after update to OS X 10.11.4

Since I did the 10.11.4 OS X El Capitan update yesterday, Photos crashes on launch. Any ideas?

Try to find out, if you are having a problem with your Photos Library or Photos installed incompletely.

As a test launch Photos while holding down the options key, until the library chooser panel appears, and the select to create a new Photos Library. If Photos is working well with a new, empty library, repair your Photos Library.See Repair your library - Photos Help

Are you shooting RAW? The new version of Photos in MAcOS X 10.11.4 has changed the RAW processing, see:

Thank you, Léonie. Apple Support found a simpler fix for me. I simply shut down and then started my computer in Safe Mode. That automatically rebuilt the corrupted files.
