Question

Default PDF Viewer for Windows 10

Is there any way to programmatically set Acrobat Reader DC as the default viewer for PDF files before/during/after an enterprise deployment? I am able to set most everything else via the Acrobat Customization Wizard, but for whatever reason, following the install, the default viewer for PDF files is still the Microsoft Edge browser. Please advise. Thanx.

Assuming you're deploying to Win 10, there OS has certain constraints which requires you to use the methods described here: Setting the Default PDF Viewer — Enterprise Administration Guide

I can set this with a combination of SCCM and GP successfully as it delivers successfully. However, what I'm looking for is a way to make this live as it's delivered to a user, currently working on their workstation. In other words, without the need for a logoff/logon or restart cycle. Thanx again.
