Bridge causes internet to freeze/disconnect

Adobe Bridge causes my internet to disconnect. It somehow interferes with the network connection. This has been an ongoing issue since last fall (late 2019) for me. I currently have the latest version of Bridge installed (10.0.1.163) on my Windows 10 system. Over the past 6 months I have uninstalled, reinstalled, totally reformatted the system then reinstalled, nothing works. I am aware Bridge does not use the internet actively. And yet, no matter what, within a minute or two of starting the software, it always freezes my internet. As soon as I quit, internet is back. Tough situation as I've been a dedicated Bridge user for as long as it's been on offer. I can't give it up as part of my workflow. So now I have to stop doing anything online before I can use Bridge. There are several other instances of this being reported on the forum, but no conclusive answers beyond "don't use Bridge."

Does anyone have a meaningful update on this mysterious issue? Thanks in advance.
