How to ditch Microsoft Edge as your default PDF reader on Windows 10

Does Microsoft Edge keep opening your PDF files even when you've installed another PDF application? In this guide, we'll show you the steps to fix this issue.

Microsoft Edge is your new default web browsing experience on Windows 10, which offers a new streamlined interface, speed improvements, and a lot of new features, including the ability to open PDF files.

While the PDF reader is a convenient feature, it currently only offers some basic functionalities, and out-of-the-box, Windows 10 makes it your default system PDF reader whether you like it or not. If you prefer to use a more advanced application, such as SumatraPDF, Xodo, or Adobe Acrobat Reader, or after a Windows 10 upgrade your settings aren't preserved, you may want to change your settings to disable Microsoft Edge as your default PDF reader every time you open a file.

In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to change your system settings to stop opening PDF files in the web browser by default.
