Hi there,

We're sorry to hear about the high memory usage issue in Adobe Bridge. What is the Bridge workflow you were performing that caused a sudden jump in memory? (any details about the type of assets, type of operations in Bridge, a screen recording if possible as well would be beneficial)

Since when is it happening? Did you try any troubleshooting steps?
Try resetting your Bridge preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/resetting-bridge-preferences-using-command.html.

If the issue persists, uninstall the app, re-download it and install it again.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks.

My assets are mainly PSDs and pngs. The problem occurs when I leave my computer idle for awhile.

Oddly enough, that key command does not appear to do anything on my installation of Bridge.

Can you please try re-installing the app once?

Hi, I've uninstalled and reinstalled and I'll let you know if the leak
continues or not.

I've been experiencing this same issue on my system. recurring memory leaks from Adobe Bridge. Only happens when the system is idling for a few hours.
