Windows 10 opens Acrobat documents in some miserable program

[Jeremy_Zollinger]

We set the computer's default for pdf to our Acrobat X Pro.  But, nearly every single morning, we must reset the default!  How do we set the default for good!  Windows 10 is NOT winning any friends in our office.

Hi ,

Try to set file association in Windows. Press Windows+ R key on your keyboard>type control>Default Programs>Associate a file type or protocol with a program>locate . pdf >Change program(in the right corner)>select Adobe Acrobat X>OK

Let us know about the results.

Thank You!

Hi @Jeremy

Please follow the steps mentioned here to set your PDF file association:

Associate PDF files to always open in Acrobat or Reader on Windows 10 Threshold 2 or later

Thanks,

Thank you, Shivam and Ashu.  These instructions appear familiar to me. I believe this is what we have been doing, but Windows 10 updates keep resetting the default.  I am coming to the conclusion that it is time to evict Windows 10.  Our former Windows 7 worked beautifully.  Why put up with this junk?

You might aware Microsoft about this issue.

You should be aware that Acrobat X is not compatible with Windows 10, so such problems are to be expected.
