Win 10 associations always chooses DC

I set win 10 associations for PDF to Acrobat 7.0, but even though it says that is my choice, it always uses DC instead, and then I have to close it and go back and specifically open in 7.0. How did Adobe corrupt the associations and how can I get it to behave as I choose? I need the options in 7.0 that I paid for and do not want to be paying every month for them in DC!

Hi Harold,

Acrobat 7.0 is end-of-life, and may be vulnerable as well as incompatible with Windows 10! I would recommend you to move to latest products in the series from Adobe: Adobe Acrobat DC, which is much more secured and robust.

Thanks!

Well, that is exactly the problem. I DO set the associations, windows acknowledges that I have set it, if I display a list it has my choice on it, but still it opens PDF's using DC disregarding my choice. Somehow adobe is overriding the association and I do not know how! If I try to set the associations again it asks do I wish to continue using 7.0 or change it, so it does clearly have 7.0 as the association.

Thanks for the upsell, but it works fine with win 10, but I see you do not want to addresss my original problem.
