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. !!!

And yet MSFT says it's an Adobe thing, both pointing fingers at each other
doesn't solve the problem, Several times a day I have to reset the default from
Edge back to Acrobat, and everything is up to date, it has nothing to do with updates
One of the two companies have a bug and neither will fix it, google this and you'll
find thousands of people with the problem...
Blame Win10, Blame Adobe, doesn't matter, it needs to be fixed.
