Reader is opening all documents when it is not set to default

[zerochaos80]

I had to download the reader for a document that specified it. Now, every time I try to open a document, it is opening in Adobe's reader instead of the one I have set as default. I have checked all the settings in apps (Windows 11) and they are all set to my preferred reader except for Adobe protocol which I assume by the name is specific to adobe.

And even though nowhere else in the machine shows Adobe for anything related to my files, when I click a pdf file, it opens in Adobe. Why is that and how do I prevent it? It is beyond irritating when I have filled in the blanks and added the exceptions to have some app decide to override my preferences.

There is no way that Adobe can decide this. 

I would suggest, if you find no other possibility, to uninstall Acrobat.
