Opening and reading PDF files in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11
I just did this. and it works! Thank you! You are amazing!
Why can I not change my default .pdf app to anything other than Microsoft Edge?

I follow the steps (via Settings) and no change. I try to open Adobe Reader and it will not open on my PC. I see from a search that this is not a new issue and it's frustrating. This feels predatory and proprietary - forcing us to use Microsoft products. I'm thinking of stopping my personal subscription and moving to another option.
