Hello,
I've used .pdf for years on my computer, I've been using Windows 10 for since it came out. (I see on your site that there were earlier problesm like this when it first came out.) I've not had this problem before, but starting last week I can't open .pdf files. I get the following error message, whether it is from a file already created and saved on my computer, or a new file I am trying to open or download onto my computer:
"Windows cannot find
'C:\Users\......... .pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Since I am merely trying to double left click on the archived document or view the pdf online there is nothing to type and hence no chance I am incorrectly typing the name of the pdf.
I have tried the following but to no avail:
uninstall/reinstall Adobe Acrobat; and
manually assigning Adobe Acrobat Reader as the default app.
Since I initially noticed it associated with my Outlook only, I uninstalled and reinstalled my entire Office 365 suite.
This is uniform across all browsers.
At this point, no files will open .pdf.
