Bridge 16.0.4 fails to launch on Windows 10 with "EnumResourceNamesA" entry point error

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (Build 19045.6466)
Bridge 16.0.3.21 works correctly.
Updating to Bridge 16.0.4 causes Bridge to fail immediately on launch with:

"The procedure entry point EnumResourceNamesA could not be located..."

Photoshop 2026 works normally. Downgrading Bridge back to 16.0.3.21 resolves the issue immediately.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

This launch failure is specific to Windows 10 systems. As a workaround, please uninstall Adobe Bridge 16.0.4 and install Adobe Bridge 16.0.3. This version is not affected by the issue and should launch normally.

We understand that reverting to an earlier version is not ideal, and we appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for your patience.

Thanks,
Bridge Team

So the lastest update/fix, v16.0.5, is only compatible with Win11? Will there be an update for Win10 users? Successfully running 16.0.3, but I’m on the edge of leaving Adobe if they’re requiring Win11 to run the latest updates.

ok - can anyone provide a link to download version 16.0.3 or provide details on how to access it from the creative cloud application? Following the elipse on the Bridge application doesn’t provide the option to install past versions (just manage plugins only). I read a post that something has to be enabled in settings to be able to do that but I can’t find that option either!

In Creative Cloud, get all of the apps in a column down the right-hand side of the screen. If you move your mouse to the right of the word Bridge, you will see three dots. Click on the 3 dots and one of the options is Other Versions. Click on that and choose Bridge 16.0.3.

We should get a free subscription, as the only testers of Adobe products. AI hallucinate → Compile → Ship. Every time it upgrades, something breaks, although this is pretty special.

I installed the earlier version, and it works!!! Yay!

Adobe - Please fix this issue. I shouldn’t have to use an earlier version of Bridge.

For now the fix is to remove Bridge 16.0.4 and install Bridge 16.0.3

Seems to be a bug that only applies to Windows 10 systems.

I can't open Adobe Bridge. I get the error message below. I've un-installed and re-installed Bridge (twice) but I still get the message below.

What do I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Confirmed.
Windows 10 Pro 22H2.
Bridge 16.0.4 fails with the EnumResourceNamesA error.
Downgrading to 16.0.3 fixed the problem immediately.

Thanks for the confirmation. Can you publish a link to version 16.0.3? I cannot get access to any other version than the current version via my Creative Cloud application.

To confirm/reiterate, YES, uninstalling and installing the previous version 16.0.3 is indeed the (temporary) solution. But what a palava.and waste of time!

Is this problem only affecting Windows 10 users? If so, how will we know if it gets fixed?
