I was going to get into PS2020 & Bridge and both my tabs said that they couldn't find them did I want to delete the shortcuts.
Delete the shortcuts and go to (c) > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Bridge 2021
Look inside the program for an icon named Bridge.exe and right click on it. Go to Send to and click on Desktop (create shortcut) from the dropdown menu. A shortcut will be placed on your desktop.
Now do the same for Photoshop 2021. Copy and paste the presets and plug-ins from the old 2020 files to the new 2021 files.
I recently downloaded and unzipped a list of actions from Photowhoa. The actions are saved in a folder as ATN files. I have tried to load these actions into Photoshop without success. I open the action window in PS, click on an action from those that were downloaded and select open. The action then appears in the list of actions showing in the action window, but the controls to run the action are grayed out. I then tried to copy and paste an action from the folder and copy into the PS Preset Action folder also without success in running the action. Wondering if the ATN files I downloaded could be defective, or is my technique erroneous

Nearly all the actions I've got are designed to run in 8 bit and are not compatible with 16 bit images. A file imported from Lightroom will, by default, be 16 bit . You could try making sure that your files are 8 bit and give it another go.
Sorry to hear about your health problems. You must be bad if your camera and trombones are lying idle. I hope you find the answers you are looking for here. Sorry I can't offer any constructive advice.
I hope over time you get a bit better and can once again enjoy some of the things you used to do.
