Adobe Bridge Darkens My jpegs then changes then for photoshop

That's some misunderstanding to suggest 'Video & Audio & Animator programs'.

That, unfortuantely is incorrect.  And I so wish you were right. And it is another reason why the Bridge is such a slow perfomer.  I have watched in awe this happen to 3000 thumbnails in a folder of pholtoshop files I've just run through the image processor.  I watch them turn from their original color one by one to a darker duller hue, that remains that color in Photoshop.  This takes a lot of time.  That xml data from ACR is still there in converted jpeg.  Maybe, who knows, maybe the Bridge is reading it by mistake. Open a a jpeg in photoshop.  Save  it .  Open it in Photoshop.  It looks the same.  Now open it in the Bridge.  The Bridge applies color settings to that jpg that darken before my eyes that then are reflected in Photshop and I cannot change.  In the Bridge Suite color settings the first line in bold says SYNCHRONIZED, which means to me its color settings are applied across ACR, Photoshop and Bridge.  Upon inspection, that is the case.  However, outside the Adobe ecosysstem that not the case.  Application of these color settings do, in fact, require the Bridge to write to jpegs, thumbnails, etc. and slow processing time.  I disagrre with you, but I really need your help.
