    Are you changing the default under the Settings>Apps>Default apps option or using the Always Open With menu? 

    This is a known Windows issue, but try repairing Acrobat (under Help menu).

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have tried both ways and neither has worked. I now have two end users with this problem.
