Bridge slow due to constant thumbnail regeneration

[Augerman]

I just started to use Adobe Bridge 2020 in earnest. Every time I open or jump folders, Bridge regenerates all thumbnails causing serious waiting times. I tried everything I could find on the Internet and on Adobe's website. I also went through all available options in Bridge Preferences. I noticed that I am not the only one concerned with this issue. I am beginning to think that this is normal behavior of Bridge.I am coming to Bridge from ACDSee Photo Studio. In that program, once the appropriate folders are "Catalogued", all thumbnails are immediately in place no matter how many times one changes folders and/or disks or leaves and renters the program. In addition, using keywords, the results are instantaneous and cover ALL folder and disks no matter what folder or disk you are in. This seems to be a great piece of software, but this to me would be a party stopper.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciate.

Thanks much for your reply to my message. Using the link you supplied, I followed all the steps and Bridge works the way I like it. My machine is a high powered Dell desktop running under Windows 10 Professional.

Thanks again for your help.

I tried all the steps and my thumbnails keep re-generating every time I open Bridge.  This never happened to me on the previous versions of Bridge.  This is creating a five minute delay every time I open Bridge, which is really frustrating.

I'm running Adobe Bridge 11.0.0.83 on a Dell Precision 7510 laptop using the latest build of Windows 10.
