Bridge CC 2017 Release - 7.0.0.93 x64 painfully slow, almost useless

I received Adobe Bridge CC 2017 a couple of months ago along with other apps in Adobe CC 2017 and have found it almost useless as it takes so long to do just about anything. I work on a Lenovo Thinkpad T530 with the following specs: Windows 7 Enterprise, Intel Core i5-3320M CPU@2.6GHz, 16GB RAM, 64 bit OS. I had Adobe CC 2015 and Bridge worked well. I value Bridge as I'm a graphic designer and appreciate the previews it affords me of all the Adobe s/w files along with its other functions. I'm considering asking my IT Guys if they can remove Adobe Bridge 2017 and re-install the 2015 version. Unless of course you can tell me why its so damn slow. I've tried the Ctrl-Alt-Shift at start-up to reset all preferences to no avail. I know I'm not the only person experiencing this problem and would like Adobe to show me what their CUSTOMER SERVICE really is. Thanks in advance, Dan (I'm this freakin close) Theriault.
