Photos not opening.
Photos is not opening fully. I have done the “Option-Command” key combination while starting Photos and the repair begins, but stops after 5% and hangs.

How large is your Photos Library? For a large library the upgrade can take a very long time, without any visible progress for hours.
But is your Photos Library in location, where Photos can work with it?
Photos may not be able to open the library,
I started the repair again and left it for a number of hours and it managed to get to 99% repaired. However, it remained at 99% overnight. I forced Photos to quite and tried again. Now I get a "Repair Library" message box with "The library "Photos Library" has inconsistencies that must be repaired." When I click on the "Repair" button the message box disappears then reappears continually, and the repair process has halted at 5%, again.
Tried again this morning and it completed the repair in about 20 minutes and so far so good.
Thanks!
