Bridge 2017 versus Bridge CS5

[Vienna_Sydney]

Have one folder with over 8000 jpg images. These have very detailed descriptions and a couple of thumbnails.

To open CS5 from scratch, with this folder active, takes about 20 seconds before all images and data is visible

In contrast, doing the same with 2017, takes 20 seconds just to open Bridge, then another 90 seconds before all data is available.

Both use similar settings, everything possible had been reset and cleaned. The thumbnail cache used is the same for both.

Installed a trial Bridge 2017 on another PC, with a similar result, after letting it build the complete cache first. Both PC's are pretty fast, plenty of RAM and disk space.

Hi Vienna,

Please refer to this article and let us know if it helps Troubleshoot Adobe Bridge for errors and freezes

Thank you for the link. Believe me, have done all these steps a hundred times and surely, new installs shouldn't exhibit the similar symptoms as older installs.

I do have some experience, having been with Adobe for about 15 years now.........

Did you try creating a new admin account and install Bridge on it?

As mentioned, installed a trial on another very fast PC, with a similar result. Have tried various other installs on laptops, where the result is even worse. Using an Asus Vaio i7 16 GB ram, it took a full 5 minutes before anything could be done.....
