Windows 10: Windows 10 Keeps Changing App that PDF Files Open In

At least once a week I download a PDF File and when I open it, it's in some strange App
that has no name.
When I try to "Open As" in Adobe, I must reset my File Apps page to open PDF Files in
Adobe.

How do I stop Windows from hi-jacking my PDF Files and trying to force me into using
some app that is clearly inferior to Adobe.

Thanks,

Why "Open With" keep changing my default PDF Viewer?


try this option



then choose Sumatra from the list and check the 'Always use this app to open .pdf files' to make it stick

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

PDF Default App Keeps Getting Changed


I complained about this a while ago and followed the suggestion of another ListMember. Well, like the Borg, Windows
has adapted.

I prefer Adobe for my pdf reader, but as many times as I change the default to Adobe, Windows keeps changing it
back to Edge (lousy pdf reader).

How can I put a stake into this thing and keep the deafault app I want.

Thanks,
