Bridge update for Win 10

I am pretty pissed about this. after years of being resistant to using Bridge I now have been using it in my workflow so I can view thumbnails of pages from the books I am working on and now Adobe goes and shuts down updates for those of us on win 10. So now I have to plan to update to win 11 sooner than planned. Bridge sometimes conflicts with Photoshop and without being able to update Bridge I can’t use the programs ope at the same time for the work I do because Photoshop gets buggy when Bridge is open lately.

Total pain in the ass. 

I truly think this is some bullshit. Some of us graphic designers are staying on 10 because of heavy workflows and its the most stable op sys for the work we do. I don’t really want to switch to win11 on my work from home computer just yet.  

If I do eventually have to make the switch when other programs become incompatible then it will take me months to get used to the Win 11 quirks. All of this putting a strain on my workload and affecting my output. I am my own I.T. person and always have to deal with all these new incompatibility issues all the time. so frigging frustrating. 

Truly WTF Adobe. You need to give us updates that extend right along with the win security updates for win10. stop forcing us to f@@k up our workflows. please. 

Just venting. Have to get back to work. 

und nach Wechsel von Win 10 auf Win 11 stürzt dann Bridge immer abbzw hängt sich auf!  Bitte schnellstens um Abhilfe , sonst kann ich bzw Adobe mein Abo vergessen!

I don’t use bridge either but now that I know i can’t use it because I still have WIN10, I WANT TO USE IT! We will eventually be forced to go to 11 as other software will no longer will be working either.  I was forced to get a new phone because my 7S, which was fine for me, could no longer run my bank app because I could no longer update the operating system.  !!!!!!!

I don’t use Bridge  very much so it really doesn’t hurt my workflow. However if Adobe makes Win 11 a requirement for PS and LR I will be seriously pissed. I just bought a new Microsoft Surface Tablet that has Win 11 installed and I much prefer Win 10. Win 11 is just different enough to be annoying and behaves strangely at times so I’m sticking with 10 as long as I can.

Totally agree. I am testing onOne as an alternative to Adobe photo products. So far it does everything I need to do all in one interface (Bridge, Lightroom, Photoshop) and I can purchase or subscribe. Looking good if Adobe is going the Win 11 route.

Adobe says it is because Microsoft have ended extended support. HOWEVER that is wrong Microsoft has extended the Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for personal devices until October 12, 2027.

I do not wish to update to Windows 11, if Adobe Persists with this attitude with the paid for products then they will likely lose my subscription along with a lot of others.

It is likely that Microsoft are influencing Adobe to encourage more users to update. 

I will add my voice to the displeasure of these practices to whoever we can contact.
