All of a sudden Bixby stopped working; it'll show up for a second and then immediately shut down. This is before and after the latest update today.

Hello CandyM, welcome to the Samsung Community! I understand your concerns on the Bixby app not working correctly. We recommend clearing the data for all of Bixby's system apps to try and resolve the issue:

Navigate to Settings and then tap Apps

Tap the Sort icon and tap the switch next to Show System Apps

Tap Bixby Voice and then tap Storage

Tap Clear data and then tap Ok (Repeat this process for Bixby Routines, Bixby Dictation and Bixby Vision) 

Once you have cleared the data, Bixby will reset and return to normal operation

If you are still having issues, perform a factory data reset: Perform a factory reset on your Galaxy phone or tablet

If the troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issues, you can submit an error report by: Samsung Members app > Get help > Send feedback > Error reports.

I'm having the same problem. However, I can't perform the steps listed by the community manager. Which leads me to a question regarding Bixby Dictation. Should it be missing, and if not why would it be, and what should I do? I can't find it on my phone. I've checked all my system apps. My daughter has a Samsung phone I looked for it on hers and she has it, but mine does not. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm having the same problem as KellyP1979. I only have Bixby and Bixby Vision, and nothing has helped with the issue, up to doing a factory reset on my phone, which I am NOT going to do for the convenience of a basic AI assistant.

Bixby Voice doesn't exist ! Only Bixby and Bixby Vision on S25 One UI8 / Version 16 (BY13). I would really appreciate you focusing on functionality instead of childish gimmicks for products people spend a fortune on.  Hope this Bug will get fixed soon!!!!

Bixby stopped working with One UI8 after update, it will pop up and then close right away.

Have you followed the best practices
after an update guide? Clearing device
cache via recovery mode in particular.

When I call Bixby, it opens for a second and closes by itself.

Same here. He recognizes my voice and beeps, but nothing else happens. Seems Samsung needs to sit up and take notice.
