We have experience many crashes using Adobe Bridge 2019 and 2010. Extremely frustrating even when using some of the techniques offered by Adobe themselves on their website.
We came across an Internet posting by Jim Doty, Jr. on his website jimdoty.com that “seems” to do the trick for us. It appears he found this technique somewhere using a Google search, but we’ll give Jim the credit for at least finding this.
Immediately (and I mean immediately) after pressing the icon for Adobe Bridge, press the Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). IF a window shows up (in case it didn’t), his post suggests “Select all three options – Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache – and then click OK.”
In our case, Bridge just started doing the indexing thing and we were back up and running after about 30 minutes while Bridge re-indexed a network drive. We are a Windows shop, so I’m unclear if this would work on Mac OS.
