This was an answer in a different post that I wrote but it needs its own thread, so hopefully Adobe progranmmers will fix this. I just found a WEIRD solution for the insanely high CPU when Bridge 2023 just sits there unused... it works and not sure why. If I start up on Bridge in the Essentals view, the CPU hits around 45-50% and temps go to 85-90C on my MSI M16 Content Creator laptop (Win 11 Pro, 12th gen proc). I've attached an image showing this.
SO, at the bottom of the Bridge window, grab the slider that changes the view percentage, and drag it all the way left, so your thumbnails are super tiny. Your CPU should drop to 0.2% or so. Seriously. Then for me, I dragged the slider back up to about 40% which works for me size-wise, and it's holding steady quite nicely... Bridge is sitting there at less than 1%. I've left it running while I work in Photoshop on other stuff, and Bridge is quiet as a mouse. Hopefully this bug can be addressed and fixed quickly.
If someone could test this on the Mac version, that would be much appreciated!
