MS Office file Affiliation on Windows 10

Bridge2019/ Windows 10

Whenever i double click an MS Office file in Bridge - it launches After Effects.
What i did so far:

1. Settings - Files Affiliation - does not list any  Office applications so i can not change the afiliation here (hide unaffiliated formats is unchecked)

2. All system bound affiliations are correct and working properly. Even the highest admin level connects office files correctly to its app.

3. Reset preferences and restarted multiple times.

What works is: drag and drop the Office file from Bridge into the launched Office application. But that hardly is a long term solution.


Best,
MDC

Hi MDC,

Sorry that Bridge is not working as expected as it is opening MS Word files in After Effects.

There was a file association bug introduced in Bridge a while back where most file types would open in After Effects but this was resolved in Bridge version 9.1.

Please check that you have the latest version of Bridge installed.

Thanks,

Akash

That's strange. Which version of Adobe After Effects are you using?
