Use Chrome Browser for Adobe Acrobat Login Window

Is there a way to force Google Chrome to be the default browser that Adobe Pro uses for the login window on the desktop? When you first open up Adobe Acrobat (VIP) to login to your account on the desktop, it uses 'Internet Explorer' as the default window. Then, there is an error that says I need to update the browser - but it's 100% up to date.

Even after making Google the default browser for all http, https, htm, and html files, it still tries to login using IE as the browser. Even if you remove IE, same thing.

FYI:  I don't mean opening a PDF with Chrome.  I want the window that pop's up when I login to my Adobe account on the desktop, to use Chrome and not IE

Thanks

Can you take a look at this article? It does contain some registry fixes that you can add to update the IE document mode. I think this should help.

Are you running IE 11? What is your system?

My apologies. I did not leave enough info

Yes, IE 11 is the version. These clients are using AWS Workspaces, which
run as virtual machines on Server 2016. IE Protected mode has been
disabled, Internet Enhanced Security, and still nothing. Any and all GPO's
are disabled.

The attached screenshot shows the pop-up window (that uses IE) and the
Adobe Pro app in the background. This window to login uses IE and I am
trying to make it default to Chrome, if possible

Also, the app says 32-bit, but the exe and the OS are all 64-bit. Not sure
why it's downgraded to 32 bit
