Photos Repairing Library Is Stuck

After upgrading to Mac 10.11 El Capitan, when I open Photos App I get the the window of Updating Library. The process continues normally until the progress bar reaches 85% then I get the following error.

Photos Repairing Library Is Stuck

It is advisable that before repairing the damaged Photo Library, ensure you are using the updated version of macOS. Steps to repair with Photos Library Repair Tool. Close Photos by selecting Photos Quit Photos. Press Option-Command and double-click the Photos icon in the Applications folder or in the Dock. Repair Library window opens. Terminate, Repair, or Reset App. Usually, the Photos app crashes due to several common reasons such as glitched out system processes, an old data cache, or corrupted program files. Dear Donia, How do I remove old photo album paper from the backs of photos? Dear Donia, My grandmother had an old photo album made up of black pages in which she'd glued her photos. Since I'd heard this paper could be harmful to photos, I carefully removed the photos from the pages. However, there are black splotches of paper still attached to the backs of the photos where the glue had.


If I quit and reopen the Photo App, the process of updating starts agian until it reaches 85%, then I'll get the error again.

My library was functioning normally on the latest Yosemite. iCloud Library is off.


Photos repairing library is stuck inside

I've tried to repair the library by holding cmd+option keys while opening Photos App but I get that the Library is not recognized, which makes sense since the updating process was never completed. Thus, Photos App on El Capitan will not be able to recognize the library created on Yosemite without updating. I'm no expert in this matter but, at least, this what my basic understanding tells me.


Any Suggestion ?


Thanks..

Photos Repairing Library Stuck At 100


The hang has been going on for over 24 hours. Photos won't let you quit the application without force quitting. Which I did a couple of times before seeing a post that I shouldn't do it.
I have another program called Power Photos from which I can access all my libraries. It shows which library is active in Photos and you can select another one for Photos to open. It shows the hanging one as the one open in Photos.
I can view individual photos in Power Photos and open them in Preview. Should I try to get Power Photos to open the problem library?
