    How do I change default PDF program from Microsoft Edge to Adobe?


    After the update of Windows 10 yesterday and noticed that all my PDF files open with Microsoft Edge not Adobe Reader? I would like to know how to change the PDF set up in default with Adobe not Microsoft Edge? All I see all the PDF files with the icon, Microsoft Edge on it.

    Windows 10 threshold upgrade changes program default for PDF's

    Although they improved the embedded Edge PDF reader in this release. Microsoft changed the default program for all pdf's from Acrobat Reader to Edge. You need to change default program back to Adobe or every time you open a saved PDF it launches Edge
    with the less functional version of the PDF reader.

    How do I prevent Edge from making itself the default program for opening PDF's?

    How do I prevent Edge from making itself the default program for opening PDF's? I have set Adobe as the default program several times already, and Edge keeps overriding this after several hours.

    OT:

    Microsoft Edge
