 If you run on Mac El Capitan, like I do, there may be an issue with the Lightroom 6.5 update as it needs the permissions for certain directory structures changed/confirmed/modified.
There is an Adobe fix for this but it needs some extra legwork!
OS X El Capitan: Set permissions for items on your Mac viewlocale=en_US

Issue
Lightroom CC 2015.4 or Lightroom 6.4 crashes or hangs when you open the application. This can also happen with Photoshop or Bridge.


Solution
Change the permissions on three folders and their contents to Read & Write and also the enclosed sub-folders.
Adobe applications need to write to these folders when they open and during use.

Use this Apple technote:

OS X El Capitan: Set permissions for items on your Mac viewlocale=en_US

to perform the permissions changes on these folders:

/Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/
/Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
/Users/[user name]/Library/Caches/Adobe/

Note: The user Library file is hidden by default on Mac OS X 10.7 and later. For temporary access to the user Library file, press Option and choose Go > Library in the Finder.
