Windows 10: Microsoft Edge's PDF viewer lags

It a started a few updates ago, when the icon for Microsoft Edge went from an 'E' symbol to the new blue circle(?). Scrolling through a PDF file (already downloaded in the computer, not viewing from a website's link) feels horribly lag and it takes longer time than usual to load pages when scolling down fast.

Any way to fix this issue? Or will downgrading to the previous version help? If so, then how?

Please advice!

ps: using a Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 (i5)

This response is no value because I am not printing. I want to skip to page 50 on a 200 page document without scrolling

 

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.
