Since the launch of Edge as browser, Windows 10 / 11 keeps resetting the default PDF reader to Edge with every single update of the Edge browser. Every time the PDF application default mapping is reset.
I've applied registry fixes multiple times to open my PDFs in Foxit reader (it could be Acrobat or any other PDF reader of your favor..), but nevertheless, it goes back to Edge defaults over and over again.
I need to reset the PDF reader via de Windows explorer settings, opening a PDF with alternative viewer... The Windows settings > Apps > Default apps interface does not save the settings, you can check the .pdf file setting, but Edge keeps in place, an other app is not saved.
Does any one have a hint or a suggestion to fix this once and for all? Even with Edge updates, the PDF file association needs to keep the PDF reader I select.
Rgds,
Peter
