Windows 10 is continually changing the default PDF program from AReader to Edge,

It used to do it occasionally, now it's multiple times a day

I've read the posts and understand how to set default programs, that's not a solution

there is clearly a bug in either Acrobat Reader or Windows 10, most likely Win10 that

is changing default PDF readers to Edge. Is there a workaround vs just continuing to

change the default program back to AR.

It's frankly been going on for years and absurd that it's not fixed.

That's more of a Windows thing. Edge has the tendency to take over. Not much Adobe can do about it.

After almost every Win10 update, I have to change the PDF (default) in Windows 10.

This has been happening for so many years now - I am now going to "stop" using Adobe PDF.

If software companies are selling software and the O/S company continually changes this to their own software

- then I will be forced to leave Adobe products - and have to keep to the (even rubbish) O/S standard.

Adobe must communicate this to Microsoft - and find a way to create their own registry - and force a lock.

What is the use otherwise - If they Do Not --

Then more people will give up on this total time-wasting exercise of changing every update. !!!
