.AI opens in Edge

[Kim27394727s14c]

Hi,

It's not that cannot open in Illustrator at all, but it's annoying like this. I can click right and 'open with' but only if I select one file at a time. Everytime I double click, it downloads the file again in the Edge-browser. I tried to set Illustrator as default for .AI in windows settings, but it's not even there. Can someone help me, please.

None of these are exactly .ai

Right Click on any .ai file, and try to change your default app there.

No .AI in the list indeed. Should be I think. With indesign and Photoshop everything works just fine.

I can right click and 'open with' Illustrator, but not set as default. As you can see, the only option here is clicking on "only once"(slechts één keer)... Is it maybe a Windows 11 issue?

Just tried this:

right click on PNG 'open with' and now I can also click on "Always"(altijd)

Hi @Kim27394727s14c,

Thanks for trying Mike's suggestion. Would you mind trying the steps as follows and see if that helps:

• Right click on theAi file and select Properties
  
• Click on "Change..." under the Details tab.
  
  
  
• Click on "Choose an app on your PC" 
  
  
  

• Now locate the Illustrator 2023 app manually, then click open.
  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2023

  
  
  

• Select Default and click Apply & Ok.

  

Let us know if this helps!

Thanks,

Anshul Saini

Hi,

Thanks for helping, but as you can see 'open with' and 'change' doesn't appear when I go to properties. With other files, like this Indesign file, I can change it...
