My Windows defaults haven't changed but it doesn't seem Bridge uses them.

Not sure what that is.but Photoshop Elements is the other option that is available. Looking at the preferences, the JPG preference is 'Explorer Settings'. In addition, now when I attempt to open a JPG file, Photo is no longer called but instead I get Photoshop Elements. The default is still Internet Explorer 11.0. However, nothing has changed with *.GIF files except that I can now open them in Photoshop Elements. Both are checked but interestingly, when I click 'reveal my startup scripts', I'm taken to an empty folder?Īnyway, after that, starting Bridge I now have some other file associations available. I have two scripts in the preferences, Adobe Bridge 2020 and Auto Collection CC 2014. I never saw a message about a script in Bridge. Okay, I had Bridge just re-installed, so I got Elements re-downloaded and installed. I contacted support and after 6+ hours on chat and getting passed around to various teams, they concluded that Bridge is no longer supported and suggested I post here. Case number ADB-12210464-J1Q6 I've even run cccleaner (free version) with no joy. I've also uninstalled Acrobat XI with no change, disabled scripts, etc. I have removed and reinstalled Bridge several times, done a hard reset and discarded all saved preferences to no avail. Selecting a jpg file still works fine.just the gif files that are messed up. So I reset the default preferences and rather than getting photos back as the preference, I still get internet explorer 11? I tried to browse to the photos.exe app in the windowsapps folder and selecting it, but when it launches, I get the first two dll's above shown as missing.

Bridge has a file association preference and I navigated to the windowsapp folder, picked the exe and get several error messages (mrt100_app.dll, sharedlibrary.dll, msvcp140_app.dll and vcruntime140_app.dll - all missing). This works great from file explorer and when launched from the start menu (and I have made it my default for. I decided to upgrade the gif functionality by downloading from the microsoft store.

I then reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI which had been removed by mistake and when I double clicked on a gif, I got internet explorer 11 launched instead.

When I double clicked in a jpg or gif file, it would launch photos.exe and work just like it does from file explorer. I have been using Adobe Bridge for some time and it worked fine.
