MAX 8 patches saving as MAX 7 files

Not a big issue but I've just noticed that when saving new patches in MAX 8 they are saved as MAX 7 files. Anyone know how to fix this?

I know I'm being a fuss pot but it shouldn't be happening.

What do you mean with saved as max 7 files ?
open patch as text and read the header
{
    "patcher" :     {
        "fileversion" : 1,
        "appversion" :         {
            "major" : 8,
            "minor" : 1,
            "revision" : 6,

            "architecture" : "x64",
            "modernui" : 1
        }

are you getting this instead :
{
    "patcher" :     {
        "fileversion" : 1,
        "appversion" :         {
            "major" : 7,
            "minor" : 1,
            "revision" : 6,
            "architecture" : "x64",
            "modernui" : 1
        }

Can't believe that, maybe your problem is
file association, that by whatever reason
assignes .maxpat to max 7, so that it launches when one doubleclicks maxpat ?
