Bridge 2023 (and beta) are 100% Broken after Latest Updates (previews don't work, thmbnails tiny)

[kleerp2007]

Bridge 2023 (and beta) are both 100% broken after latest updates. My thumbnail previews are now the same tiny size regardless of how large I set them to scale with the slider, the preview panel shows the same size image as the thumbnail, and spacebar no longer works to view an image full size. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, reverted to a prior version - nothing fixes it and now I can not work....at all. Please help, never had such a crushing bug before. I'm on os x 11.7.6

In addition, tiffs don't preview - and I have already command shift option reset my bridge prefs.  I am unable to use bridge for anything.  Purging cache does nothing, rebuilds the same.  Even going to previous cached folders initially shows thumbnails at normal size, but then shrinks them to postage stamps.

kleerp2007, Try initiating Camera Raw via Photoshop. After that relaunch Bridge and check you see the images as expected

You  mean like just going to file open > to a raw file in photoshop?

Yes.
I have read on some threads that this is because launch of Camera Raw plugin is stuck via Bridge

Hello @kleerp2007  @Yuvan5ED0 

This issue is fixed with the latest Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 15.5.1 update.

We recommend you to update to ACR 15.5.1, 'Purge' your files and confirm if the issue is resolved at your end.

Update: Go to the Creative Cloud desktop app, click on Update in the left sidebar of the Apps panel, and Check for updates. Then click Update for Camera Raw.

We appreciate your patience and support.

Regards,

Bridge team
