Today, October 30th, after installing Catalina 10.15.1 Adobe Bridge fails to start. Anyone else seen this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Bridge with no joy. I have also deleted old caches, preferences etc.

    Unfortunately Catalina screwed a lot of things for me. I ended up wiping my hard drive and starting from scratch - 4 days work. All Adobe programmes are working fine now although Bridge is still slow.

    Did you ever solve this?

    I'm still waiting for an Adobe or Apple update so I can avoid the hassle of reinstalling Catalina!

    My solution (blunt object) was a fresh install of Catalina and Adobe Creative Cloud. Everything has been fine for the last few weeks.

    Since Adobe can get Bridge to work in the "labrotory," that probibly the solution. Thanks.

    Same here, just updated all the apps to 2020 and Bridge v10.0 is the only one that fails to start. Reset Settings does not help.

    Installed 9.1 again and no issues!

    Catalina 10.15.1 (GPU RX580)

    I'm sure this must be a widespread issue with Mac users?

    So a new install of Catalina instead of an upgrade from Mojave fixed your crash issue with Bridge?

    Wait until Adobe release the new version of ZBridge next week.

     

    There are to many issues with Catalina

    Okeydoke.

     

    Thanks - but what a pain! Weird that my MacBook Pro has no issues with the update.
