    After some last Windows10 update the MSEdge was set as the default PDF files viewer. When I switch it back to Acrobat, it returns again as before. I tried it more times using the right mouse with checked option, in settings/default apps by file type, nothing helps. No option to see the Edge setting. Can it be set somehow?

    OR – how to get rid completely from that loutish sw? Normal way doesn’t work…

    Thanks for any advice

    If you highlight .pdf in defaults by file type and click you can change it to any of the options you then get depending on what you have installed or select one from the Store. If your preferred app isn't there you are out of luck by the look of it. Don't really get the strong anti, it's very fast and is tempting me to make it default instead of Firefox.
