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.
Opening and reading PDF files in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11

As of today (October 26, 2024) there is NO option to always open the PDF in Adobe, not Edge. EVERY TIME you open a PDF you have to choose "Open with" and pick Adobe. There is NO option to always open the document with the chosen program. In the words of Lucy Van Pelt, "argh."
I just did this. and it works! Thank you! You are amazing!
I especially don't want to use Edge for my pdf's. Even more so because I'm paying for Adobe Acrobat license!
This worked for me! Thank you!
This worked for me!!
