Thank you @Rahul Saraogi  - I've provided the requested information and sent it to sharewithbr@adobe.com - please note that the Mac Bridge 2024 folder requested is too large. I've asked in the email where I can upload that file because it won't let me send via email.

Thank you,

Both myself and a colleague are having the same problem and we both use Windows PCs.

If you ignor the error screen and don't click "OK " everything carries on running as normal. However having the error message in the background is annoying and needs to be resolved.

I'm sorry you're having the same issue too. I wish my Mac would allow Bridge to run with the error message up, but unfortunately, nothing can be selected unless the alert is closed, which immediately crashes the whole program.
