This is a dup thread for one that was started in 2020. Same stuff is still happening. I'm about 5 minutes from uninstalling Edge. If my PC reboots, Edge takes over PDFs. So annoying

Microsoft Edge | Read PDFs | Windows 10

    For anyone who don’t have patience …

    Use my method and let me know if that works for you and what you like

    I simply replaced “ Microsoft edge “ file to “ adobe acrobat “ and renamed it as msedge….

    Bang

    No more MS edge , only Adobe Acrobating now …
