photos suddenly won't load...causes?

Up until two days ago, I could use Photo. Now it won't load and I have to force quit. Any suggestions?

The following has helped some users in similar circumstances:


1 - force quit Photos.

2 - launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test libraryl

3 - import a couple of photos into the test library and close and open it a couple of times.

4 - launch Photos with the Option key held down band select your primary library.
