Ive installed the latest reader but for the life me I cant understand why its not the default for all users on this 10 machine.. I mean you cant expect every user to change the default pdf assoc setting (we have 20 people that share these machines). It should be the default for all if I install it..  And why is edge the default reader anyways.  10 is killing me

Help - there must be a way to make it the default for the machine..

Thanks

    Adobe and Akki_24​

    Can you guys provide an answer to the question? How can we make Adobe Reader or Acrobat the default PDF viewer for all users on Windows 10?

    Hi Stevesousa1228,

    As you have explained above, if I understand correctly you have 10 machines and that is used by around 20 people and all the machines have Adobe Reader DC installed on it and that turns off as default application to open pdf each time?

    If application installed on 10 different machines separately then you at first time you need to set the Adobe Reader DC as default application to open pdf separately on each machine. However once you do that it should always open the pdfs in Reader DC only and shouldn't switch to edge.

    You may refer to the forum thread Stop EDGE from switching to PDF default  where similar issue has been addressed.

    Also, refer to- Associate PDF files to always open in Acrobat or Reader on Windows 10

    Regards,

    Akanchha
