Bridge 2021 Deleted Cache on Exit

I'm experiencing an issue where when I'm in Bridge it will cache a folder as normal. It will cache any folder I'm in like normal. The problem arises when I exit Bridge. At that point it seems to delete any cache that was created during that session. When I open it again it'll be on the folder that I left off at and it will start the task of rebuilding the cache. Crazy thing is I can go into Windows Explorer and look at the shared.cache folder in the folder I'm using and see .png files. Bridge just ignores them when it lauches again. I've done a few things trying to resolve this. 

1. I've changed the default location for the cache to a folder I created. 
2. I've attempted to Build and Export Cache for folders and subfolders. It appears to be doing this (all 58000 files!) and then once again it all seems to disappear after I close Bridge. 
3. I've tried purging the cache and then exporting it all again.
4. I've tried two different physical hard drives and the bug is the same on both. 

Anybody have any advice on what's going on and how to remedy the situation? Thanks in advance.
