Bridge is completely doggin' it

I'm working on a PC computer i7-8700K with 64 gb of Ram and a Navida gtx 1070 GPU with lots of room on it's Samsung solid state drives.

I've always had some issues with Bridge running slow after about 6 hours of working in and out of Bridge but in the past I would just restart my computer and all would be good for about another 6 hours. Now this doesn't make any difference and I'm only working in bridge when I have to because it's running so poorly. I must wait for everything. 

I uninstalled and reinstalled bridge and also cleared the cache repeatedly.

Cashe size is set to 72 gb

Keep 100% previews in Cache is not checked

Compact cache on exit is checked

Automatically import cache when possible is checked

Purge Cache older than 30 days is checked

I don't know if this is related but it occured at the same time, when in Photoshop using the ACR from the filter menu, if  use "apply previous setting", it will often leave a very thin strip on one of the edges of the image that is a doubling of what that edge of the image is. I then have to crop it off which changes my pixel dimension. This too is extremely frustrating but I'm not sure if it's related.

Can anyone help. It is such an important program but I'm increasingly working in File Explorer because Bridge is functioning so poorly.
