Question

Is it normal that Bridge consumes more than 8 percent of the CPU capacity?

After having saved a tif or jpg from Photoshop and while navigating between folders in Bridge - Bridge can sound like a truck working uphill - for many minutes - as if the creation of proxy images is looping. Activiy in ACR and Photoshop doesn't provoke a likewise working level - as far as I can judge from the sound. During such noisy periods the task manager says 8.3 percent - very high.

I have no other heavy applications running while working in Adobe (not to my knowledge at least) - just Bridge, ACR and Photoshop. As soon as I return to Bridge from ACR or Photoshop, the buzy work begins.

 

The CPU is  AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor, 3801 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s) and 32 GB memory installed.

    Hi there,

    Could you try enabling "Use Software Rendering" by going into Bridge's Preferences > Advanced menu and let us know if it lowers the CPU usage?

    Regards,

    Hi Sahil and others,

    I enabled "Use Software Rendering", but that apparently has no effect on this problem.

    As I write this - Bridge has been climbing uphill for more than half an hour without "known" activity from me. For the same time I have been editing the same image in ACR - have opened it in Photoshop - an returned to ACR a couple of times while Bridge has been pointing at that same image.

    See attached screen print form task manager - 8,5 percent og total 9.

    Could you please try resetting the preferences of Bridge and let us know if it helps? https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-bridge.html
