Problem with Outlook 2016 not remembering default PDF app choice

Thanks for the suggestion. I wonder though if the issue actually has anything to do with the Adobe Reader? When I first observed the problem Edge was showing as the default PDF reader in Outlook's drop down list. It was possible to select Adobe Reader from the list, but even though we put a check in the box for Outlook to remember the choice it didn't. After setting the Adobe Reader as the default in Control Panel/Default Programs/ the icon on PDF files changed to the Adobe Reader icon and it replaced Edge as the first app in Outlook's drop down list, however Outlook continues to ask and doesn't save the choice.

One thing I wanted to try was repairing Microsoft Office, but strangely there is no entry in Programs and Features. I wonder if there's a way to run the repair from the command line?

 

Using Microsoft Outlook Login remembers WiFi Password?!

This underlines the importance to keep the security info on your MS Account (Hotmail, Live, MSN, Outlook.com emails) up to date to avoid these 30 day delays.



An even better solution is to use an Authenticator app. You can download the MS Authenticator App for Windows Phone here: Authenticator | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States).

On iOS and Android devices you can use the Google Authenticator for an MS Account: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...authenticator2.

When two step verification is setup and you use an MS Account on a new device you get the code needed from the app.

I forgot the tutorial link for setting up Two Step Verification: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...-turn-off.html. The tutorial is on our sister site the Seven Forums.
