Windows 10 opens Acrobat documents in some miserable program

We set the computer's default for pdf to our Acrobat X Pro. But, nearly every single morning, we must reset the default! How do we set the default for good! Windows 10 is NOT winning any friends in our office.

You should be aware that Acrobat X is not compatible with Windows 10, so such problems are to be expected.

Thank you, Shivam and Ashu. These instructions appear familiar to me. I believe this is what we have been doing, but Windows 10 updates keep resetting the default. I am coming to the conclusion that it is time to evict Windows 10. Our former Windows 7 worked beautifully. Why put up with this junk?
