Tried uninstalling and re-installing bridge but the problem persists!
This is getting interesting.
I take it you already tried resetting Bridge's Preferences?
You can try a uninstall, but Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems
If still no results,
Adobe Customer Care is Adobe's Official Support and they can access your computer to see what is going on, which as forum users we cannot. You have to go with chat. There are loads of CC users out there wanting to get a tech and it does take persistence, but we are out of options here.
Start here: Contact Customer Care
I hope they can clear this up.
