Constant Bridge Issues and Crashing with Camera Raw (Updates Seem to be trigger)

Report · Dec 05, 2021

For the last month with a lot of Photoshop and Camera Raw updates coming out everytime a new one comes out it causes issues in my Bridge workflow.
It has happened 5 times in the last 2 months where I open Bridge to find I cannot now close the program without it crashing and needing a force quit.
I also can't access Camera Raw setting within Bridge without another freeze and crash.
Also same issue if wanting to opening a raw file with Camera Raw within bridge, it freezes then crashes.

This has been happening on and off for the last 2 months with all the new updates. It bugs out for a day or 2 at a time resulting in massive downtime processing images for wedding photography also lots of wasted time trying to disable GPU acceleration or reset setting trying to find a solution to the issue.

If anyone has experienced the same issues lately and has found a workaround please let me know.
Thanks again!

Thank you for your reply really appreciate it.
The version was listed in my original post (Version: 12.0.0.234)

I have gone over all the steps in that link:

It seems to be more of a capatibility issue with Graphics Driver everytime a slightly new version of photoshop, camera raw or bridge comes out. Previously I have found over the last 2 months it resolves itslef within about a week but the issue is happening in my business's peak work season and spending hours troubleshooting the issue each time is invaluable hours wasted.

Since this happened last time I have been able to turn off graphic acceleration to get around the issue. I have found just disable and restarting the program doesnt work a full system restart needs to happen and that seems to do the trick.

On looking again at the issue now I have renabled Graphic Acceleration and it is now working again. I think it really just comes down to a driver or system conclict when a new version comes out.
