The app won’t start
Crashes and blank screens on launch.
Updated August 2026
Quick sequence
- Fully quit and relaunch — including from the system tray / menu bar, where the app may still be running.
- Restart the computer. It clears wedged state that app restarts miss.
- Check your OS is supported — Bridge targets current Windows and macOS versions.
- Reinstall the current build. Your work is safe: projects are your own folders, untouched by a reinstall.
If it keeps happening
A crash that survives a reinstall is one the team wants to hear about. Send when it started, what OS you are on, and what changed recently (OS update? new antivirus?) — see Getting help.
