pdfs no longer automatically open in Acrobat

I have a licensed version of Acrobat and have had for many years. Recently I was asked to update Reader in order to open a cloud-based pdf, which I did. After this, pdfs would only open on the browser-based Reader and not on Acrobat. After doing some research on how to fix it, I uninstalled Reader. Now I can open pdfs in Acrobat, but Windows still does not associate the file type with the program. I have tried again to set the file association via Properties>Opens with>Change (from unknown application to Adobe Acrobat) but this does not make any difference. Any suggestions welcome, as I can't seem to find any answers online. Thank you.
