Photos freezes when updating library

Since I updated to El Capitan, Photos on my iMac freezes on start up of the application when library is updating.


Anyone have a clue on what to do?


Thanks

f you can then the problem lies in your other library. You can then try to repair the library according to the instructions in this Apple document: Repair Your Library.

Note: If you use iCloud Photo Library with Photos, this action will cause Photos to upload all your pictures again (from Fix missing or incorrect thumbnails in Photos - Apple Support).
