    Hi Edgrmndz,

    Could you please confirm how you are trying to open a pdf document or which web browser you are using?

    Because, when you download or open any document it depends on the web browser default settings whether its going to Save or Open the document.

    Thanks,

    So based on your reply, I took a hint and went and checked on the settings of Microsoft and change as follows and it works!!!!.

    and for the people whom are having this problem here is how I did it ,

    I opened Microsoft edge.

    clicked on the (  ...  ) 3 dots on the right side, upper , just below the " x "

    clicked on " settings ".

    scrolled and clicked on   " view advance settings "

    turned off  " ask me what to do with downloads "

    Thanks AKKI_24 for your reply!!.
