Recently installed PS 26.1 and updated Bridge 10 version 15.0.1.412 - Mac. When I double click files displayed in Bridge they will notopenin PS unless I right click and select Open With PS 26.1. In my Bridge preferences, Applications->Application Launch OptionsI have selected "Automatically Select the Latest Installed Production Version. In the Startup Scripts all items are checked please see attached screen grab.

Any thoughts on what I am missing?

Jeff, that didn't work either. What did finally work was to go to Bridge->Settings->File Type Associations and I set JPGs and PSDs files to be opened by Photoshop 2025 26.1 and now all seems good. Previously it was set (I guess by default after the most current update) to launch Photoshop (Beta) 26.3 but it wasn't launching that either.

Thank you everyone for trying to help out, much appreciated!

Maybe a reset of the Bridge preferences will fix the issue:

Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Command+Option+Shift until the Reset Settings dialog box appears.

Go Apple>System Settings>Privacy & Security>Full Disk Access and add the Adobe Bridge 2025.app

from Applications/Adobe Bridge 2025

Ok, just added Adobe Bridge 2025 and it is truned 'ON', re-started Bridge and rebooted and no difference.

Just an FYI, Adobe Photoshop 2025 is not in the list of Full Disk Access apps, tried to add it but it would not accept it. Although Adobe Photoshop (beta) is in that list, as well as the Adobe Update Helper and Creative Cloud.

Uninstall and reinstall.

This is most likely lost file associations in the update (the old version is uninstalled after the new is installed; taking file associations with it).

Nothing at all happens when you double click on the file?

If in Bridge you go to Adobe Bridge 2025>Settings>Applications click on Choose a version and select Adobe Photoshop 2025, does that make a difference?

Thank you for chimming in. I had it set to, 'Automactically Select the Latest Installed Production Version', so I switched it to 'Choose a Version' and I selected Adobe Photoshop 2025 but it still does absolutely nothing.
