I run a Win 11 PC and all worked fine until recently. My work flow is Bridge>Camera Raw> Elements 24. Now it works only with JPG files. and it bypasses as normal Camera RAW.

When opening RAW files (.RAF) Camera RAW does not open and Bridge hangs.  I need to close down Bridge to get out again. I have updated Bridge to 14.1.0 but no change and also tried the Beta version in Creative Cloud. Help please!

I also use Bridge to open in ACR, but I have a Photographer's plan subscription. This allows me to open the full ACR version in Bridge (open in camera raw). If I want to ask Bridge to open in the limited PSE ACR version, even if I set Bridge to open by default in PSE 2024, that does not work. I discovered that Bridge has a setting to open both jpegs and raw in the wrong software, the home screen, not the ...editor.exe. It was set to open the PSE13 version which I had just installed for testing purpose. Once the associations have been corrected in Bridge, I can open the raws in the limited PSE ACR version. I can also open jpegs the same way if they have been edited in ACR in the past.

So, my question is: do you have a susbscription allowing using the full ACR ?

Just to mention that I am primarily using the Organizer and only Bridge to use the full ACR version. I don't have to install the full Photoshop, so if I set Bridge as my secondary editor, I can use the option to 'open in camera raw' to get the full ACR version in Bridge.

On the other hand, If I set Bridge associations to the PSE2024 editor, I can choose to edit with it, which opens the limited PSE ACR version. So, from Bridge I can use either version, full or limited to compare them.

Of course, just like in the organizer, jpegs automatically open in ACR if they have been previously opened and saved in ACR.
