Windows 10: I accidentally selected "always open these files in word" when I should have selected...

It may seem a simple question but for me it is a major issue. Can anyone help?

File selection lost continuously

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

  Are you trying to access detail pane under view tab or right click on the file and select properties and details?

  What are the steps you have followed to open the details view?
  

I would suggest you open the folder which contains PDF files and click on view and check details pane and check if you are able to get the details view.

Reply us back with the required information. We will be glad to assist you.

 

Windows Explorer - File Renaming - Double Click to Select Word

That's what I can suggest if you want to avoid any accidental selection on file extensions.
