Adobe AI files are forcefully opening in Adobe XD

[Amith_in]

After 2019 version update all the AI files are being opened in XD. Also, we are not able to change the default app to AI.

Sorry, but it is not a Microsoft issue I feel. Because this is happening only after CC 2019 update.

I'm on Windows 7 on my office computer and there it is also impossible to change file associations. This is a configuration problem in Windows as the exact same computer with a fresh OS works perfect.

Actually, It's happening in 2 different computers running Windows 10 and CC 2019. Not an OS related problem.

Amith.in​ have you tried to change/refresh your System-Rights, after the Update?

The same thing has happened to me in various shades... Sometimes, it fixes itself - like after the latest PS update - sometimes it has to be done manually.

This link should help in resetting file associations:
