Windows 10: Windows 10 Version 1809 will not support PDF files in Documents - now to fix?

Microsoft Tech support had me upload Version 1809 yesterday. Today none of my old or new (today, for e.g.) PDF files in Documents will open. How do I make all the 100s of PDFs compatible with 1809? thank you.

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
