Latest Bridge update - contact sheets exports JPGs with bad color

I just ran the latest update for Photoshop and Bridge. I am working with images and exporting contact sheets and now, the JEPGs included in the contact sheets look dark in comparison to the original PSD. Everything about the two files is the same except one being a flattened .PSD and the other a .JPG. (see screen capture) Both have the same color profiles but look different when viewing the PDF contact sheet.

I checked the Bridge preferences and turned on "Preserve Embedded Color Profile." When I do this, the images now appear the same but become over saturated and very red.

This never did this before. What has changed and how do I get the two image types to display accurate color?

After 1.5 hours of working with tech support, deleting preference and reinstalling twice, they acknowledged there was a problem with this latest update and they would be fixing it. In the mean time, uninstall 2018 version and reinstall 2017 versions. Worked perfectly again.

Version 11.0 also has this issue. *sigh*

I too have been frustrated by trying to sort this out. Rolled back to Bridge 2017 and it all works perfectly again. Thanks for the tip. It would be great if Adobe fixed it though!

Double check the profiles. My experience says that it needs to be in relation with the profiles.
