i guess its still 3ds max files but the properties were change.....to correct it, right click on your 3ds max files, then select properties. On properties window that will pop-up, press the button CHANGE and look for 3ds max application

Hello @Anonymous and welcome to the community,

That's a bizarre issue no doubt about it. The easiest course of action would be to make sure to add '.max' to the end of your file names. So "MyScene_01" becomes "MyScene_01.max". That should override the Save As type in the dialog for any windows application from my experience.

Somewhere the file type associations may have broken for PDF or Max on your system. You could try to hold down shift, right click a Max file, select "Open With" -> Choose Default Program -> and select 3ds max. Make sure "always use the selected program to open this type of file" is checked and that should update your associations.

Best Regards,
