Final Cut Pro X will not start at all. As soon as the application opens it 100% locks with the beach ball spinning (for 30 min.). I've repeatedly forced quit. This did nothing to solve the problem. Then I deleted FCPX and reinstalled - but the application still won't start. What now?
I'm using a 2015 MacBook Pro with Monterey 12.7.6
FCPX is version 10.6.8
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7
45 minutes later I've got 131GB of free space. Other than adding 12 pictures this morning - I haven't changed a thing.
On my machine FCPX and Chrome have existed side-by-side for years - both worked fine together in the past.
Yes, all media was and is stored locally. I do the same for Logic Pro.
10 years is a good run. I think you'll be amazed at the performance improvements on even the base modern systems.

It'll likely blow what's left of my hair off my head.

And it's happening again (as described in my original post). Final Cut Pro is 100% unusable.
