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

    Yes, installing the previous version 16.0.3 is indeed the (temporary) solution

    Same problem. Version 16.0.3.21 works fine, without problems.

    To download OLDER versions of Bridge:

    Go to the ACC application. 

    Select the All Apps tab

    Find Bridge

    On the far right, you'll see an ellipse, click on that

    Select Other Versions.

    Same here, lots of hours wasted, such a nightmare 😥
    I finally installed the previous version, it works!

    The following worked for me… 

    Had to finally install an old version of Adobe Bridge 16.0.2 and copy back my presets, collections and keywords.

    Now Bridge is asking to update???? Ya right… may be v17.0.0

    Where did you find version 16.0.2?

    before unistalling the 16.04 version that people have issues with, you may want to back up your preferences… 

    1. Locate the Settings FoldersClose Adobe Bridge, then navigate to the directory for your operating system:Windows: Open File Explorer and paste C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe into the address bar. Look for the folder named Bridge [Version] (e.g., Bridge 2026).

     

    some of these files can be manually copied once Bridge is working again. For example, I have a large number of Collection and would hate to loose those contents

    I am struggling to resolve this issue for my windows 10 22H2 PC. I can’t locate v16.0.3 to install. Using creative cloud just installs the latest version. Accessing more actions (...) on the app doesn’t display any previous versions to install - just “manage plugins”. I have uninstalled v16.0.4 and cannot seem to revert to a previous version. Adobe website states use creative cloud app! Any suggestions?

    I have experienced the same issue.  Reverting to a previous version fixes the issue, and you have to turn off the auto update for Bridge - otherwise you have the same issue all over again.  I hope Adobe is looking into this as a priority.

    Same problem here: entry point from procedure EnumResourceNamesA not found in DLL-file C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge 2026\Adobe Bridge.exe. I have re-installed the previous version 16.03.21, whichs works fine.

    I am using Windows10 22H2. Thanks for helping out.
