how to make acrobat the default pdf viewer for windows 10

Adobe Acrobat has clearly changed its approach to alter that security restriction, hence you may see later comments to install and uninstall Acrobat, I do not recommend that as the solution. Microsoft in the name of security have intentionally blocked traditional methods installers use for deciding what app is to be default PDF handler in Windows 10. The installer still allows for Win XP / 7 / 8 /8.1 users to confirm they want SumatraPDF to be the PDF and other document types default reader. Windows 10 USERS PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING I do not know Spanish language W10 the first place to try in English is “default app” I hope that someone knows where and how I am going you are not doing anything “wrong” it is Windows 10 constantly trying to redirect the default PDF reader to EDGE Of course, I do, but it does not register. Whenever I click on the Sumatra icon, it starts up and asks me in a small window whether I would like it to be my default reader. Sumatra was installed directly through the FireFox browser as a 64-bit program on a Spanish language w10. Sumatra is not listed in said windows as an option, neither does PDF appear.

I tried the same in W10, but the Control Panel “kicks” me into this new tile interface and windows display format.

I knew how to configure this on W7 starting at its Control Panel window.

It also works on W10, but I don’t know how to make it the default program so that it starts up whenever I click on a PD file in Windows Explorer. I have been using it for many years without difficulties on XP and W7 computers. It loads quickly and also displays quickly many PD files in one window. Since Windows 10, with its new graphic user interface, I’m actually lost due to the “glitz and glamour” of the W10 tiles and new windows format which seems to me to be an attempt to imitate Android. I’ll try to contribute with my knowledge whenever I know something as a fact or factual experience. Thank you, administrator (and robot, of course, LOL), for admitting me to this forum.
