PDF app association using MDM - reset to Edge before getting corrected after a reboot

Hi all,

I am using the Policy CSP to push down the app associations to a windows 10 device (MDM managed). This device gets Chrome, Chromium Edge and Acrobat apps pushed down upon enrolment.
The steps I followed were:

  1. reset and enrol windows 10 device into MDM
  2. push down app associations using the Policy CSP (change default browser and set the pdf file association to Adobe)
  3. Reboot the device
  4. Default browser is changed. Pdf association is reset to Edge
  5. Made no further changes and performed another reboot
  6. The pdf file is now correctly associated to Adobe

Any ideas what could be causing this behaviour? the association clearly works as the default browser is changed upon the first reboot. Not sure why the pdf file requires another reboot to work correctly?

Thanks
