Hi @yeluri.krishnavamsi  
May I ask you to share more details, e.g. your current version of Lens?  
Did you try to reinstall Lens from scratch?

I have this problem on Windows 10.  
After a frezzing in my computer I did a OS restart and the Lens don’t open anymore, just shows this same screen…  
I did a reinstalation over with the latest version downloaded in the lens website but the problem persists.

Could you try opening the app from the top menu / tray and seeing if there are errors in the developer console with cmd-shift-I and paste them here

Reseting all the settings could help, this means deleting the directory (replace your username). Take a backup if you want to preserve your settings.  
`/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Lens`

Or same in Windows %AppData/Lens

Deleting the Lens folder worked. Thank you so much.  
Before deleting the settings, I tried to extract the errors from the developer console like you mentioned. But I was able to see only a black screen.
