Windows 10: PDF file association keeps being hi-jacked by WPS Offiice

I have WPS Office installed and it keeps hi-jacking the file association for PDF files.


I have tried right clicking a PDF file and changing its association to Edge - this works for a while then changes back to WPS Office.

I have gone into WPS Office settings and UN-checked PDF file associations in the file format associations section and this has stayed unchecked.


Nothing works.


Does anyone else have a solution to this?

PDF file and associated programs/apps

I use WPS Writer for word processing and every time there is an update to the suite it overwrites PDF-Xchange Editor as the default PDF app. I know how to change it back, but having to scroll all the way down that long list is tiresome. Is there some trick
to keep WPS from appropriating the PDF files?

And, while I'm here - how about a search in the file type list and associated programs/apps list?

Thanks in advance for any help.

machine keeps refusing to open pdf files

Probably broken association with PDF files. You can right-click on a PDF file, select Open With and then Choose another app. This will list all the applications that can handle PDF files, but there will also be a checkbox to make the chosen application default. Select the application you want from the list and check the box to associate PDF files with that application. You can also install Adobe Reader which I think is best for PDFs and associate PDF files with that.

 

microsoft print to pdf files will not open after saving

We suggest that you save the PDF files on your device and check if the issue persists. You may also want to associate the PDF files to Microsoft Edge as the default program to make sure that you have a default application that will open all of your PDF files.
Here are the steps:

• Search for Default Programs.
• Go to Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
• Select the .pdf file type and then click the Change program button on the upper right of the
  Set Associations window.
• Choose Microsoft Edge and then click OK.

Let us know how it goes.
