Autocad 2019 File Not Opening

[javier.zavala]

Quick Question. When I click on a .dwg file it open autocad 2019 with the file. Now it does not do that. Instead when I click on the file autocad 2019 opens but it does not open the file. i have to drag the file to autocad 2019 in order for it to open it. I think I moved a setting or something. Please help me.  how do i get it to open automatically

Is the problem just with this one file? or all files?

All Files from what the user told me

in Windows Explorer, right-click over a DWG file and let us know what application is assigned to open that file format?

I am having an issue with AC2019 where, while using sdi - 1, we cannot open new sessions through windows explorer. You have to open a new session then go through the open dialogue which is a bit cumbersome. 

I have tried this with the files being associated with "autocad dwg launcher" as well as "autocad 2019"

Ok, so here too (for other users who read here in future)

For 2019 it is normal or as designed, sorry.
