MSEdge – how to disable as default PDF viewer

Tags: Microsoft

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

Never seen any Edge setting. Look at this method:
Open Settings.
Click on Apps.
Click on Default apps.
[b]Click the Choose default app by file type option.[/b]

Click the current default app for the . pdf file format and select the app you want to make the new default.

Now after clicking on the set default program, click on the
the program you want to use for opening your Doccument.
Or use the method mentioned by another member.
