Adobe Bridge permanent CPU usage

When I let Bridge index a folder of RAW files, initially the CPU usage is high, then it drops after all RAW files have been indexed.

 

But Bridge continues to use 20-25% CPU, even if it apparently is doing nothing. When I exit Bridge (i.e. I close the window), this 20-25% CPU continues in the background.

It only stops when I kill the Bridge process in the task manager.

 

Is there any way to preven Bridge from using 20-25% CPU when it's doing nothing?

In response to my earlier post, Adobe contacted me and arranged for three of their Bridge team to come online and look at the CPU problem on my PC.  They are aware of the problem and they are working on it.  There was no indication as to when they would have a solution but that will depend on what they find is causing the problem.  Meantime the simple workaround is to use Bridge 12 which is fine.

Hi @Alfred5E88 

 

Thanks for your feedback.
Could you share the following details about the issue:

  • Bridge version
  • System configuration
  • Is the issue specific to particular files/format?

Please share the sample file/files on which you are observing the issue at sharewithbr@adobe.com

 

Thanks,
Bridge Team

The version is 13.0.3.693.

Not sure what you mean with system configuration, but it's a PC with Windows 10 (latest version).

The issue is not specific to files or formats. Just now I opened Bridge again. It was on an empty folder and immediately went to 16% CPU load. The CPU load persisted even after closing the Bridge window (there was still a Bridge process in the task manager). The CPU load only goes away if I kill the Bridge process in the task manager.

Hi @Alfred5E88 ,

 

By system configuration, I mean which CPU are you using and how much RAM is present in your system. Also how many content panels are you opening at the same time? 

Could you send us a screenshot or a screen recoding when Bridge seems to be using high CPU ? 

 

Thanks,
Bridge Team

Hi @Alfred5E88 

Since your question is about Adobe Bridge, I have moved this from the Photoshop forum where you posted.

Thanks, but nobody has provided a solution. I have therefore stopped using Bridge.
