Bridge open all types of files in AfterEffects.

After update to 9.0.2.219 x64 (Win 10) Bridge opens all kind of files in AfterEffects.

.psd, .jpg. .indd, .pdf, .xls you name it. ALL.

Resseting file types associations - no change.

Resseting all preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift start method) - no change.

Any ideas?

To be clear, opening from Windows finder works correctly, just double clicking inside Bridge opens AE.

    Dear Users,

    We have released new version of Adobe After effects (16.1.1 Build 4) to fix the above issue. It is available to install via Adobe Creative Cloud application.

    Please let us know if you face any issues.

    Thanks,
    Siddharth

    This happening to me as well and I'm on Windows 10. I uninstalled After Effects for now and that works but if I reinstall After Effects it comes back. Welp, looks like I won't have AE installed for now. WTF.

      I've been on Adobe Help chat for the last hour and still no results. This is going to take awhile.

      I have this too.. even uninstalling and installing an older version won't work.

      Why, for the past 2 years, do all Adobe product keep getting worse?

        Right click not always working, as for example .docx - the "Open with" option is not available..

        Same here on Mac.

        Adobe Bridge v. 9.0.2.219

        When trying to open any file format including Camera Raw, Bridge will Launch After Effects v. 16.1.0 (build 204) even though Bridge preferences shows file types are associated to other Adobe applications.
