📎 AI Summary:
The original poster, bluenite, is experiencing a persistent issue where Microsoft Edge resets as the default PDF viewer after Windows 10 updates, despite trying multiple methods to set Acrobat as default. They are seeking advice on how to change or completely remove Edge as the default app. A responder suggests that editing the registry could fix the issue but warns against it and suspects that the problem might be due to Windows corruption or corruption-related issues.

After some last Windows10 update the MSEdge was set as the default PDF files viewer. When I switch it back to Acrobat, it returns again as before. I tried it more times using the right mouse with checked option, in settings/default apps by file type, nothing helps. No option to see the Edge setting. Can it be set somehow?

OR – how to get rid completely that loutish sw? Normal way doesn’t work…

Thanks for any advice

It could be done by editing the registry but I DON'T RECOMMEND THAT.
Is Windows up to date on your computer?
It seems to me that Windows is corrupted on your computer.
