How did you uninstall the 2024 version?

Did you precise follow the instructions for a clean uninstall given >>here<< or >>here<< ?

Consider a Clean Uninstall of 2024.

Then after a PC Restart, associate the DWG with AutoCAD 2022.

Right-click on a DWG file.
Choose "Open with" and select AutoCAD 2022 from the list. If AutoCAD 2022 is not listed, click on "Choose another app" and select AutoCAD 2022 from your program files.
Check the box that says "Always use this app to open .dwg files" or similar. This will ensure that all DWG files are opened with AutoCAD 2022 by default.
