Photoshop has a mind of its own

Have had a problem with BRIDGE not responding. Found it works better to open Bridge without PS. However I may select several photos in BRIDGE as a group to move to another folder or open in CAMARA RAW. PS may start itself when I select the 1st photo or after I have selected the group. If these are RAW files PS may open them in Camea RAW or may open them in PS. If the files are ones that I want to delete and they are in CAmera RAW, the trash can may appear in each image but when I select DONE & the page goes back to BRIDGE the images remain in BRIDGE rather than disappearing so they are not deleted. I can literally start the process & have to wait 5-10 minutes for PS to do what it wants to & at the end of that time have accomplished nothing. Each upgrade to PS seems to bring new problems & inpair productivity
