Hi Venkatachalamp

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described the PDF files are opening with Edge.

 

It is a know issue with Microsoft where Edge takes the ownership of the PDF files as default.Please checkout the similar discussion  I have found on Microsoft help page https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/edge-keeps-making-itself-the-default-pdf-viewer/5dd09172-bc7a-4072-81ca-7ffca4decbeb and see if that works for you.
