Bridge 2021 won't start

[martins28724515]

After updating to Bridge 2021 I can't get it to start. Bridge 2020 won't start either. I can see lots of "AdobeCRDaemon" processes running using Activity monitor.

I'm running macOS Mojave 10.14.6.

I've tried restart - still the same.

Hi there, 

Sorry to hear about Bridge not launching after the update.

Please go to the System Preferences of macOS, then Security and Privacy & select the Privacy tab. Once there, please select Accessibility from the list on the left and add Bridge to the list by unlocking the window using the lock icon. Also, grant permissions to Bridge under Full disk access. Once done, restart the computer and let us know if that helps.

Regards,
Sahil

Hi Sahil,

thanks for your quick response. I tried your suggestion but I still get the same symptoms - Bridge just sits at 100% cpu but doesn't come up on the screen then eventually shows as "not responding". I do query why it requires these changes in Sytem Preferences when earlier verson haven't required them - especially "Full Disk Access".

I can't get Bridge 2020 to start either - it shows the same symptoms.

I've attached a screen shot from activity monitor

Have you tried updating to version 11.0.2 through the Creative Cloud Desktop app and see if that helps?

I tried the update to 11.0.2 as you suggested - still exactly the same symptoms.
