Camera Raw freezing Bridge, works fine in Photoshop

Bridge 12.0.1, ACR 14.2

iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017), MacOS BigSur Version 11.2.3

Hello,

I use Bridge to view my RAW photos, I typically select them and press the open with Camera Raw button then do my editing, and proceed on to Photoshop. Recently, everytime I click the Camera Raw button, it freezes bridge (get the spinning wheel, sits there for hours, refuses to open). This problem occurred at a random time ( I did not recently update bridge or Camera Raw, it just started to happen). So I decided to update Bridge in hopes it would fix the issue. It did not. Additionally I can open the same photo(s) in photoshop and Camera Raw filter works just fine.

I have already installed earlier version of Bridge and ACR, problem still persisted. I also manually deleted all the cache files and even ran the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool on both Bridge and ACR and it did not help. 

Really need some help getting ACR working again in Bridge as my workflow depends on it. I have a high profile job to get out and cant complete it without this combo. 

Thanks!

Is this happening if Photoshop hosts ACR?

If, understand your question correctly, no it is not. I can right click on a CR2 file, and click open with Photoshop, and Camera Raw will open automatically.

Good, then that indicates it is a Bridge issue and if you are OK, I can move this to the Bridge forum.
