Hold down the Option and Command keys while launching Photos to repair the library.

Repair Library
You are about to repair the library "Photos Library".

See the link for pictures of the procedure.

It's a real pain that one has to do a web search for all computer problems.
Hope this works for you.

Other articles have to do with photos being only in iCloud, or on an external drive (perhaps in some old format).
