Bridge 2018 (8.0.0.262) new smart collections fails
When creating a new smart collection in Bridge it is not visible in the collection panel after save.
Looking into my folders I find that the new collection is created in the folder c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CC\Collections\. However, only the collections in the folder c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CC 2018\Collections\ are shown in the collections panel.
If I move the new smart collection manually over to the Bridce CC 2018 collections folder, it becomes visible.

Can't create them at all. In the dialogue box when I press Save nothing happens and the dialogue box remains open. I have not had previous versions of Bridge installed nor are there any other Bridge folders as described above.
My system is Windows 10 Pro 64 bit freshly installed on a new PC and my Adobe CC software is also freshly installed. All software installations are on a brand new SSD so the problem is definitely not related to old installations.
Have tried everywhere I can without success to find a solution short of reinstalling Bridge.

Reinstalling doesnt work.
It's a bug that Adobe has yet to fix.
Bridge will attempt to save the Smart Collection in the WRONG filepath and if you dont have a prior install it doesnt work.
For some inexplicable reason Adobe seems to have totally giving up on developing Bridge. There's stil a HUGE userbase who rely on Bridge AND DONT want to use LR as DAM (for a million good reasons) /rant
If we all file bug reports, maybe someone will prioritize using 5 minutes to change the filepath in the code ...

As for Smart Collections, I just tested and it works fine in Bridge 8.1. Saved into the correct folder.
Have you tried resetting Bridge preferences?

I found a work around - (on PC) got to UserName>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Bridge CC 2018>Collections. Copy and paste an existing collection, restart Bridge and the new collection (i.e. copy of an old one) is indeed visible. Then it can be edited as required and saved as normal. A bit long winded but it works!
