AE 25.2.2 now rendering files into folder with suffix .aep.AME. HELP!

[bobcalvert999]

After Effects of Media Encoder is now rendering my files to .aep.AME suffix on the file name.  It happened after I installed the latest version.  How do I change it back and why did it change.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
