This already happens with other file types. For example, if you click something from your widgets, it is a file type that forces Edge to be opened. Other browsers can’t open it. Microsoft is trying to make Edge its new Internet Explorer. I mean, just click on the Weather widget. See what app opens. Try to make another browser open it by default. You can’t on Windows 11. Smells like anti-trust courtroom action, take three.

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed, but Edge takes back over as the default PDF viewer just about weekly.
And if I download a PDF and try to open it in the “downloads” menu, it always opens in the no matter what I do.
Just let me open my shit in it’s native software. Edge can’t even edit a goddamned PDF - why would ANYONE want it to be the default?

Yeah. When I was using windows I just refused to install adobe and used Firefox as my default pdf viewer. It took me some time to figure it out. Adobe doesn’t care that they invented the pdf last Millenium. They just want in on the Microsoft bucks. Those two must have some boardroom deal.
