Learn how to fix the file type association problem for Creative Cloud apps.
Issue
When multiple versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, or any other Creative Cloud applications are installed on a computer, uninstalling the earlier versions after installing the new versions breaks file type associations for the new versions.
When you try to open a file, you observe one or more of the following issues:
- The file type opens with a different application. For example, an Illustrator (.ai) file opens with Adobe XD.
- The file type is not associated with the Creative Cloud app anymore. For example, a .PSD doesn't open with Photoshop.
- (Windows) Opening the file displays the message: Windows Cannot Open This File or the Open With dialog box.
