Windows 10: Default PDF reader keeps switching to Edge

I have a computer in my organization that keeps switching the default PDF reader to Edge. We have wiped the profile and rebuilt it, replaced the laptop with a new fresh image to no avail. The users default PDF reader keeps switching from Adobe DC Pro to Edge. We do not have any group policy controlling the default PDF reader and other users in the same OU do not have this issue. It is isolated to this single user. Has anyone else ran into this issue and have a fix?

PDF Default App Keeps Getting Changed


I complained about this a while ago and followed the suggestion of another ListMember. Well, like the Borg, Windows
has adapted.

I prefer Adobe for my pdf reader, but as many times as I change the default to Adobe, Windows keeps changing it
back to Edge (lousy pdf reader).

How can I put a stake into this thing and keep the deafault app I want.

Thanks,

Richard S.

 

select default pdf reader in W10M

I know MS wants everybody to use Edge as their default pdf reader, but it's simply missing a lot of features other readers have. I have to read/ watch quite some pdf's on my phone. A small selection of annoyances in Edge:

• loading time is bad on Edge
• renders very very slowly
  
• restricted zoom, unusable if you have to zoom in on a A0 size document
  
• multiple clicks for switching to other documents
• full-screen is missing (there is always the, in this case, useless adress bar on screen)
• rotation of document is missing
• always need to download an email attachment first before opening it in a usable app
• why ditch basic functionality in the first place?
• it's a bloody browser, not a very good one on my phone, but I could live with it.

Does someone know of an advanced setting in W10M so I am able to choose a default app for pdf? Xodo is one of the best pdf readers on Windows Mobile, in contrast to Edge.

For me it's not a small feature, so if MS keeps on crippling my workflow, I have to look for other options. I'm not for looking for fancy apps, but just basic functionality.

I am using a lumia 950 if that matters (and not very happy with it since Creator's Update).

 

Edge keeps replacing Adobe as default PDF viewer

Microsoft Edge keeps reverting to the default PDF viewer and it's extremely frustrating. I believe it occurs whenever I unzip files using winzip. I know how to reset the default application but it's time consuming doing it once or twice every day and shouldn't
be necessary.

Why does it keep changing back to Microsoft Edge and how can I stop this?

Can i remove Microsoft Edge completely?

Why does Adobe not appear in the default programs list? How can I add this to the list as if it did appear the steps to change the default viewer would be quicker.
