Many times I have gone to settings / system / default apps / choose default apps by file type, under Windows 10 to set Adobe Acrobat Reader as the default for PDF files. This will work for a day or so and then gets automatically changed back to Microsoft Edge. For the file that has acrobat set as the default, add the condition to check if our program is installed, in this case, we check for the install folder. When you add this, click ok on the prompts and move to the next file.

5. The Set Default Programs window will open
Choose Adobe Reader As Default Browser
6. Under the list of programs on the left, click on Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
7. Choose Set this program as default

Choose Adobe Reader As Default
Manip maker online, free. 8. Select OK
