Question

Adobe apps not responding

Recently, after updating to Mac OS Tahoe 26, my Adobe apps have been struggling. For example, anytime I try and use Adobe Bridge, every time I click something, it takes a very long time to load, and it happens every time I click anything, even if i just go to a different folder. So, I tried using Photoshop and it did the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this? Has anyone found a solution?

Thanks. Please help! I need to use this for a college assignment.

I have this problem too.  Photoshop and Lightroom are extremely slow to load apps, and Bridge is useless.  Bridge opens normally, but shows no thumbnails.  Clicking anything (even trying to quit the app from the top menu) causes the app to go unresponsive and I have to force quit.  I cleared the cache and have restarted several times, and if anything it's worse.  When I started trying to troubleshoot, I could double click on an image (which defaults to opening in Photoshop), but it would tell me Photoshop couldn't open the file because of a JPEG error, possibly a truncated file id?  I can open everything fine through OneDrive and Preview.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC and all my apps, with no improvement.  I'm on an M3 MacBook Max running Tahoe 26.0.1, Bridge 2025, Photoshop 2025, and Lightroom.
