Ah, never saw that setting before. Let me know if that fixes the issue for you!

I posted in the Microsoft forums and got this reply:

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand your query related to opening PDF files in Adobe PDF viewer and not in Microsoft Edge. I will certainly try my best to assist you with the issue.

You can change the settings to block PDF files from the browser and you will receive the option to download the file and open it with the desired program.

Open Microsoft Edge.
Now on the address bar type edge://settings/content/pdfDocuments
Under Allow PDF files to open externally toggle the switch to On


Once you make the above changes, you can change the default app for PDF to desired one. Refer the article Change default programs in Windows 10

I hope the information provided above will help you proceed further to resolve this concern.



Regards,

Prakhar Khare

It looks like I have not updated. I saw somebody say not to do it until they tell you to do it. But I don't get notifications, I go in periodically and check, so do you think it safe to download and install?

I've had no issues, but you might want to wait until Tuesday when Windows releases a cumulative update fixing any hidden issues.

Then you probably haven't. It's a big update that requires your computer to be rebooted multiple times.

It also may fix your issue, but I'm not 100% sure.

The update is slowly rolling out to users, so be sure to keep an eye on your Windows Update for it. It will not start automatically, you will need to click on it for it to start.

Have you upgraded to the latest Windows 10 May Update (v2004)?

Not sure

According to Google, this appears to be a really big issue .. with no real solutions.

I'm not sure if this will solve your issue or not - but if you install the new Microsoft Chromium Edge, it will uninstall your old Edge browser and replace it with this new one and *might* solve the hijacking issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I updated that a month or 2 ago.

Here's a link to the description:  https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/microsoft-edge-keeps-hijacking-my-pdfs/td-p/10754576?page=1

It happened again today. I was thinking maybe during an update or a system check it was happening, but I went to eat lunch, came back to the computer, and adobe had been hijacked again.  swear2.gif swear2.gif swear2.gif swear2.gif swear2.gif

It looks like a lot of people are having this issue as well. This "takeover" issue could have been fixed in the big Windows May update.

I'm not seeing any solution to this issue for later versions of windows. Could you show me a link to that registry fix?

If I can find it again, I'll pass it on.

Edge keeps hijacking .pdf files. I'm so frustrated! I change it back to adobe, but it gets hijacked again.  I see some registry edit steps to make it so edge can't do that anymore, but I'm not tech savvy enough to feel comfortable attempting that. Does anyone know of an easier way??
