Launch Photoshop action on images selected in Bridge

Question

In all my previous PS versions, I could highlight a grooup of images in Bridge, click Tools, Photoshop, Batch, which would open PS so I could click the desired Action. It would run without complaint, just so.

Since I now have to deal with this dratted Cloud version, this system does not seem to work. Click Batch, PS opens, but clicking the desired Action does nothing. Zip.

No help or Faq files are relevant.

Who has the answer to this question? Please? THank you in advance.

Reset preferences, not cache (perhaps reset prefs in both Bridge and Photoshop).

Hmm, it works for me – files selected in Bridge CC 2018, Tools > Photoshop > Batch…

The action does not contain an open in Bridge step, this is coming from paired versions of Bridge and Photoshop.

Thanks. Emptied cache. However I still do not find an actgion step for "open in Bridge" which used to be shown in the Batch dialog. How do I write an action which includes an open step NOT for a specific image, but for whatever is highlighted in Bridge? Appreciate guidance here.
