Acrobat does not use windows selected default browser

My (latest updated version) Acrobat does not use the windows selected default browser (Egde in my case), but opens another (Chrome) in stead. Whatever I do, Adobe keeps on opening Chrome when I click on a hyperlink, despite Edge being selected for that.

    Have you checked whether Edge is set as the default browser in Windows settings? Go to Settings > Apps > Default apps, select Microsoft Edge, and make sure it's assigned to open HTTP and HTTPS links. If Edge is already set as the default, try restarting Acrobat and your computer. You can also check for Acrobat updates. If Acrobat still opens Chrome, try going to Help > Repair Installation in Acrobat. It could be an issue with how Acrobat is handling links rather than your Windows default browser setting.
