Bridge 2020 V10 too slow on Windows 10 OS

Install 2019 or 2018 from

Also the below helped me

At first, I thought it was my hard drive slowing things down. But no.... I bought an SSD and Bridge is still hanging up just like before. 

It's so slow when adding new photos that I changed my whole strategy -- I plan ahead to have down time. I upload the new files then WALK AWAY for a half hour AT LEAST. I just walk away and let the computer run with the fan humming maxed out.

Not sure what else to do. Is it ONLY with raw files? I'm not sure. I don't want to switch to jpeg, but I might give it a try. It's too bad because like someone else said, Bridge seemed to work great up until a certain "upgrade." Someone here said they go back to an earlier version, but it doesn't seem like that's a viable solution because of changes in raw files, camera/lens info, and ability to work seamlessly with PS. Very frustrating. 

Bridge 2020 is also very slow and unresponsive for me.

Granted i have very large caches of images but this was not a problem in the last version.

If, for example, i click on my .JPG folder in the Favorites side bar (which has about 10,000 imgs)

Bridge becomes non-responsive for about 10 to 20 seconds (displays "Not Responding" on menu bar)

before finally opening the folder and beginning to cache previews.

I followed all the trouble shooting steps suggested on the help page i.e deleting prefs, emptying cache, disabling "non-essential" windows, having latest video drivers, etc.

As I said, previous version worked fine, or as per usual, at least.

Going back to that version however is not ideal as Adobe's wonderful apps can only communicate with other if they are matching versions.  Which is great since we get new versions every yer and there's always an issue with one or two.

With the new versions every year i have become very, very used to broken apps and features and problems eating away at my porductivity,  just thought I'd add to the thread because i have some free time while I was waiting for Bridge to respond.

Stop releasing new versions every year.  The data is in: AGILE development sucks for end users.

It hurts productivity, wich slows the prcious economy and leads passive aggressive and or overt abuse toward innocent support people.

Running Version 11.1 of Bridge just grinds my PC to a halt, Why?

Intel Core i7 16GB Ram 512 SSD everything else runs fine but Bridge just drags the pc to a crawl.

Bridge being excruciatingly slow building thumbnails, even on top notch Micro SSD, i7 PC's with 128GB RAM and NVidea 2070.

It turns out the slow Bridge problem, troubling A LOT of people, is an extremely simple thing:

Solution:
Simply make sure the "Content" view at the bottom in Bridge isn't enlarged.
- That all. As soon as you make the "Content" view bigger, Bridge turns into a Zombie.

I've been auto-creating thumbnails for ONE FOLDER with 5034 3MB pngs inside. Bridge has been churning away FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR trying to create a cache for that one folder (it's a leaf) and it is only through 868 files.

Yep, let me join the chorus.  I've been reporting this iussue since before Bridge 2019.  It all went pear-shaped for me after 2017.  Rendering previews of RAW files smashes the CPU.  Doesn't use any GPU resources.  Like others here I have a high range specification PC with 8gb video card, 64gb RAM and a six-core processor.  Apps are iunstalled on SSD as well as a separate SSD for the Bridge Cache.  My keyboard even takes ten seconds to render a keystroke when Bridge is hoigging all the resources.  It even worse now since the latest updates.  Now it hogs RAM too and crashes the computer.

Same problem for me. Bridge 2020 is very slow to startup, navigate folders or render thumbnails. Like others, it's not a machine problem - everything else I have works fine - it is purely Bridge 2020. And it's very frustrating. Please advise this community what is being done to resolve a widespread problem. 

OK Adobe, Please fix this issue of slow Adobe Bridge! What happened? I have a powerful pc, lots of ram, dedicated graphics card I spent a year talking IT into purchasing,etc.! 

Now Bridge works like its 1999 again. Why the long, slow navigating between folders, on the same hardrive? WTF? Please don't post the same ole' not working tips as: reset the cache, change previews, download drivers, blah blah blah. 

Bridge is a good program, real users use it. 

Hi,

Same problem for me. Intel i7-2670QM 2.2GHz 32GB. It takes 10 minutes (yes minutes) to compute thumbnails even for less than 50 photographs, and the interface is toooooooo slowwww. It's a computing issue, it's 100 times slower (really !) than previous implementations. Thanx for your attention. Regards.
