Did you just upgrade from Big Sur?

Just let it sit for a bit. It can sometimes take a long time.

Photos keeps going into Restore.. mode Using Monterey 12.4 but seem to have problems for some time. Photos with use, gets into some undefined state where by every time I try to open photos it immediately goes into restore mode. The only way to fix it is to restart my iMac and then start photos. I hate having to restart my mac every time I want to use photos. It appears to get into some state where after closing an open session of photos, everytime I restart photos it brings up the Restore.. screen. I have run rebuild on the database. it doesn't seem to make a difference.
