Adobe Bridge and GeForce Experience

Hi Just wondering if anybody else has GeForce Experience (the NVidia app) installed--not that it's really useful for anything expect for skipping a few steps in the Display Driver update process--but wanted to check if anybody else has the same experience:

Adobe Bridge shows up as "Peculiar Ultra Humongous Cuckoo". WTF

There's no way to rename it on the app list (I have 3 apps detected by the app; the others are VLC and AutoCAD and they show up fine).

I've uninstalled and reinstalled GeForce Experience and the problem is still there. Currently uninstalled Bridge but not yet reinstalled as I have no use for it, really ( I only ever use Photoshop and Acrobat). Is this normal? I've done several passes with Norton and Windows Defender and both come up clean.

So i checked again this morning; lo and behold: The Cuckoo is gone. I have my Adobe Bridge back! lol

No clue as to how it happened. I actually rolled back on some of my audio drivers these past few hours. So yeah maybe an auto update somewhere?

Mine appears to be back to normal as well. I looked and there hasnt been an update for Adobe or Nvidia so I don't know what changed...odd.

As of this morning I must report that all the curious names have now disappeared.

I did absolutely nothing to achieve this!

Thanks @Mironelul this was one of the first threads I found on the issue; I was looking for it but couldn't find it again for some reason.

Has anybody else tried to contact / gotten any response from NVidia?

I am having the same issue and I have contacted Nvidia about the this and am currently moving through there tech support process. The few emails I have exchanged with them they seem to think having my onboard graphics enabled is causing this problem. They suggested disabling it and reinstalling my graphics card and drivers. It didnt fix the issue. I'm going to stick it out with them until I get to the bottom of it or they tell me they are done trying to help.

Buuut guys.. I find this funny. :)) Didn't think people would take it as a virus, but I guess if some do, then that is an issue.

Experiencing the same thing on Adobe Bridge (Peculiar Ultra Humongous Cuckoo).

What I do note on my machine, is that the name above appears for Adobe Bridge 2021 (which is no longer on my PC), as I've just updated today to Bridge 2022.

Ok, so...

I just did a full system format, win10 installation, all updates, nvidia drivers update, no new browser (only Edge), and Adobe CC with Photoshop and Bridge installed: and still having the peculiar ultra humongous cuckoo name for Adobe Bridge. Cloud services are still syncronizing. So i'm just giving up and keep waiting for an explanation o any news.

Well, finally I just reinstalled OS and updated drivers. Everything was ok till i was reinstalling Adobe Acrobat DC and extention with Brave Browser and video Glitch, and peculiar ultra humongous appeared again. IDK what to do. Maybe a virus within a cloud service or something.

For real??? what the hell? Yes, same issue. I'm running a business here. I don't install anything that I dont need for my business. So why can't these giant comapnies Adobe and Nvidia act professional. Could be a virus I suppose. Where's the support?

ADDENDUM:

Have taken another look at NVIDIA RTX Experience and apart from Bridge's metamorphosis into a cuckoo, I also note that the following DxO Apps have aquired similar attributes :

HDR Efex Pro = "ABSTRACT PYGMY SMALL SWIFT"

Color Efex Pro = "HOLISTIC PYGMY GREAT MACKEREL"

Silver Efex = "MELLOW UBER PETITE BEAR"

So the issue is affecting more than Adobe Apps.
