Please assist with removal of annoying page

I have a paid subscription to Photoshop CC....  I just went from an old computer with windows 7 to a new computer with windows 10.  On my old system when I was in bridge and clicked on a raw image, the photo would open in ACR. After I worked on it, I would click on "done" and it would send me back to bridge. That scenerio was perfect! But now on the new computer when I'm finished in ACR, I click on "done" and instead of being sent to bridge, I'm sent to a stupid page with a bunch of tutorials, and on the left side it gives choices of "home" "learn" "your work" "lightroom photos" and "cloud documents".  I then have to click on bridge to get back to it. How can I disable or discard that horrible page with the tutorials and get it back like it was on the other computer? When I click on "done" in ACR, I want to go back directly to bridge.  Thanks for any and all assistance you can give me to correct this annoying problem.

As Dave says, you are seeing the Welcome Screen in Photoshop. When you double-click a file in Bridge, it opens PS behind Bridge, and this is what you are seeing. You should be able to change from “Learn” to “Home” in the upper left so you can see your images, not the tutorials in the Welcome Screen,

 

Instead, however, if you use Cmd+R (or right-click or File menu) to open your files in Bridge into ACR, then Photoshop will not open in the background and remain open when you finish with ACR. It’s Ctrl+R in Windows.

The only time you go back to Bridge after using the ACR window and clicking Done is if you Right Click on the image, select Open in Camera RAW or the File Menu > Open in Camera RAW or Ctrl + r keyboard shortcut and then click the Done button.

 

If you Double click on the image, or single click and then use the Enter key, a Photoshop window opens then a ACR window and if you then click Done PS is still open but no image is loaded.

As above what you are seeing it the Start/Home/Whatever screen of PS.

 

It has been this way since I started using PS, Bridge and ACR. That was back in 2004 or 2005.

    In Photoshop try Preferences >General and uncheck "Auto Show the Home Screen"

      Dave, I unchecked it, but it didn't work. I also tried turing off the system and coming back in fresh thinking this might cause the unchecking to take effect, but no dice...  that tutorial page still appears.
