Full Text Index With Catalog: Issue with recent update

Issue: previously developed .PDX (Full Text Index With Catalog) file no longer functions after most recent update (Version 2021.001.20135).

When attempting to open a .PDX file created in Adobe Pro on a Windows 10 PC the file does not open. We also attempted to open the PDX file by clicking file>open, however, the file did not open.

Prior to the update, when opening PDX files a separate search window would open and allow the user to search within the index.
