Bridge CS6 Will Not Open Default Pdf Reader!

Has anyone experienced this? The pdf filetype is associated with Foxit Pdf Reader, opening pdfs in windows 10 (64 bit) opens them correctly with the assigned app Foxit Pdf Reader.

Bridge on the other hand does not give me the option to load via Foxit Pdf Reader; it's not showing even via open with (see attached).

    Yes I read that. If I understand it correctly the association is correct in Windows but not in Bridge?

    That''s why I suggested to change this in Bridge by going to Edit > Preferences > File Type Associations.

    What is listed there for PDF files?

    My apologies Ronald, you were completely correct, this fixed it. I had no idea Bridge had it's own file type associations. Strangely for only pdfs it wasn't in the x86 file.
