Windows 10: I do not want to remove Edge, but I am frustrated by Win 10 resetting my defaults every...

I don't want to have to continually adjust my default settings every time Microsoft releases an update to Win 10.


OK, so maybe is a minor thing, but it is really irritating:

• I want my Adobe Acrobat Pro to be the default for PDF files, NOT EDGE.
• I want VLC to be the default for Audio and Video files. NOT the Windows Media Player.
  • Why? Because VLC allows me to adjust volume higher than 100% and I have some hearing impairment. Media Player is capped at 100%.
• I want FireFox as my default browser! (I am NOT trying to remove Edge.) NOT Edge.

There are more defaults that I have to adjust every time. These are only the top of the list.


I really don't care what Microsoft thinks I ought to use. It is really ticking me off.

So, is there are way to force Win 10 to retain my settings?

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.
