How did you uninstall the 2024 version? 

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

@engr_lrby ,

Consider a Clean Uninstall of 2024.

• How to perform a Clean Uninstall of Autodesk products on Windows
• Autodesk software can not be uninstalled

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

• DWG file type associativity in Windows for AutoCAD

• 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.
