Ugh.. Bridge problems

Bridge won't even launch for me since I updated to 2017. Well let me correct that. it launches around 5 minutes after I click the icon (not exaggerating).

Then it sits, unusable, so long I finally open task manager and close it.

Since the 2017 update I've had to install previous versions of Photoshop and now I'm installing bridge cc.

What's going on with this? every version it gets worse. Then After Effects gets the 2017 update and it's phenomenal. I can work MUCH faster now in AE than before, but not the same with Photoshop and bridge. bridge has been getting terrible for a long time, and it stinks because I rely on it heavily. Ever since 2016 update it's gotten much slower, hangs more often and just plain sucks to use.

Is there anything that can be done to stop these problems? I can't be the only one struggling but i didn't see anyone complaining about Bridge
