  3. After upgrading to Windows 10, Adobe change to PDF reader

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To make sure I understand correctly, you would like to set Adobe as the default PDF reader, is that correct?

    If so, I would suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Press Windows key + R to open the run command.

    2. Type control and press enter to open the control panel.

    3. Type default program in the control panel search box and open it.

    4. Click "associate file type or protocol with a program".

    5. From the lists of extensions, look for .pdf, click on it and click, "change program".

    6. Choose Adobe and save the changes.

    Let us know the result.

    How do I change Adobe so it's not my default for Pdf files?

    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.
