Change Default App Settings
Windows will automatically set default applications to use for the various file types, such as using Microsoft Edge for websites or PDFs. You may wish to change these settings if you prefer a different application, such as Chrome or Adobe.
Follow these steps to change default app settings:
Click the Windows icon (start menu) and click on Settings or you can type settings in the search bar and open Settings
In the left navigation pane, click on Apps, then click Default apps
You will see a list of applications on your computer. To change the default application settings, select the application you would like to modify.
For example, to make PDFs open in Adobe, click on Adobe Acrobat.
Look for the file type .pdf and click on the application below it
Select Adobe Acrobat and click Set Default
You can perform the same steps to change default application settings for other file types and applications, such as setting your default browser to Chrome or opening specific files types in Excel.
