BridgeTalk.bringToFront ("aftereffects"); - No longer works?

I tried posting this question in the after effects scripting forum and got no response.  Hopefully someone here knows about this.

I have been putsing around with a script since CS6.  Suddenly with the most recent updates to CC, BridgeTalk.bringToFront ("aftereffects"); isn't working on my pc.

I have tested this on a mac and it seems to work fine however when I try on my windows 7 system, nothing.  I searched through the Javascript CC ref but I am getting no where.

Here is what I have been trying.  I open a new javascript set it to run the Extend Script Toolkit CC, pull photoshop in front of after effects.

I run this:

BridgeTalk.bringToFront ("aftereffects");

nothing

However, if I put after effects or any other programs in front of photoshop and run this:

BridgeTalk.bringToFront ("photoshop");

Photoshop pops right up.

Is anyone else having this same problem?  Does anyone know anything about it?  Can anyone offer advice for a work around?

I would appreciate it if someone would try this on their windows system as all my adobe friends work on mac.

Thanks for looking.

I am having some difficulties similar to this in Illustrator.

Except, in Windows it works while on mac I'm having the problem.
