Adobe Bridge 2024 Always Minimised

[Sean Clarke]

When I start Adobe Bridge 2024 it is always minimised to the task bar.

It never opens fullscreen.

I've deinstalled, removed all preferences, purged all of the caches (re-started with Alt + Ctrl + shift)

But the application just stays minimised in the Task bar.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Adobe Bridge v2024. 14.1.2

Which Operating System?

Looks like you are on Windows but which version?

How are you opening Adobe Bridge - using the CC app, a shortcut or what?

If from a shortcut, look at its properties. You can force full screen opening from there.

This is using Windows 10 - All latest updates.

Launching either via the Windows start menu, shortcut or via Abode Creative Cloud App = no difference.

This is not a bug but looks like a windows issue.

Give this a read and see if it helps:

Superb Answer Erik - Thank you.

1: Shift+Ctrl - With your mouse lined up over the application icon, press Shift+CTRL, right-click on the icon, and press maximize - did the trick

Never had this before - all resolved now.
