Bridge 2026 stalls and crashes on startup

    Custom built Core9 Ultra, 96 Gig RAM, NVDIA 5080, 6 TB Storage, Windows  11 up-to-date

    Bridge 2026 stalls and crashes on startup so I updated Bridge 2026 and it still stalls and crashes on startup. 

  •     I deleted preferences, dumped cache, and restarted and it still stalls and crashes on startup. 
  •     I uninstalled Bridge ran Glary Utilities, restarted, reinstalled, and it still stalls and crashes on startup. 
  •     I consider bridge to be an essential part of my workflow so my workflow is now crippled and I've tried everything I know to do.

    Can someone help?

    Thanks to those who know more than me,
    Joe

I experienced a similar issue.
The problem turned out to be with the graphics card.
I uninstalled all versions of Bridge, then:
Switched from Camera Raw 18.5 to 14.5
Switched from Bridge 2026 to 2025
It worked correctly after performing these steps.

Ich denke, das hat was mit Windows selbst zu tun. Bis zum Wechsel von Win 10 zu Win 11 ( Defender o.ä.) lief bis Bridge V16.0 alles einwanfrei
