Bridge 2021 upgrade: freezes on launch and changes my colour profile settings to default

Question

I noticed all my colour profiles have defaulted to North American Prepress today, and so launched Bridge to reset them. This seems to happen with every major upgrade to the Creative Suite – a huge pain as it isn't always obvious until I'm at the end of a project. Even more devastating when it is a Photoshop layered project. Grrr...

Anyway, upon launching (the first time since the upgrade to 2021) I have the spinning beachball of death. Activity Monitor shows it is unresponsive, and using 97% of my CPU.

My system:

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)

Processor: 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

Memory: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Graphics: Radeon Pro 570 4 GB

Sorry, these are better screenshots of th Activiy Monitor.

Have you tried rebuilding Bridge's Preferences?

Here’s how: When launching Bridge, Command-Option (Mac)/Control-Alt (Win) + Shift to choose “Reset Preferences”, Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache”, and/or Reset Standard Workspaces.

Let us know,
