After installing Acrobat Pro or Reader DC we are getting file association reset issues.  It rolls through a few files types and reassociates them with Edge instead or the Acrobat applications.  We have tried a few things but this keeps happening.

So the first thing you need to understand is that the way File Associations and Default Programs changed in Windows 10.  It's documented in a Microsoft Blog.  The challenges and ways provided to set the Default PDF Handler as it applies to Windows 10 is documented in the ETK
