No version of Brige is workable for me after autoupdate change

I've been using Bridge for som years now, but I have stayed away from the rest of the suite from Adobe. And I've had the same old good old bugs you all complain about. But it always worked, even if at times (most times actually) quite buggy. I have 2023, 2024 and 2025 on my system if one of them didnt work for some reason. 2023 was ALWAYS my fallback as it was at least stable regardless.

Soooo I just installed Photoshop and Lightroom Classic after years of abscence from the Adobe World. But after installing PS and LR, nothing works. Every single version just crashes and stalls. Result is I have to force quit and open up again. But same thing happens. It crashes. It unusable in any way shape or form.

Then I noticed that the install has flipped the "autoupdate" switch in "Creative Cloud"..... I ALWAYS wait and see if theres new bugs introduced. Clearly now, nothing works.

LR and PS works flawlessly. Just not any version of Bridge. What up with that?
