Had that issue too, search in Start for “Default Apps”, then scroll to the bottom and click “Choose default application by file type”. Then scroll to .pdf and choose Sumatra. The settings window may crash for some reason, but for me the file association did seem to stick after that.
I haven’t had a crash happen on that screen but it takes its fucking time loading a non-paginated list of thousands of elements. And there’s no search bar IIRC. MS made this process as painful as possible and I’m convinced that that’s exactly the way they want it.
get sumatrapdf.
havent been on windows in a while, but im assuming its still the great lightweight viewer it used to be.
It is. I have trouble making it the default reader. Stuff still opens in Edge. Not sure what the deal is.

I’ll give it a shot and report back. I remember doing it through “Open with … Always” but maybe it’s different.
the deal is probably windows lol
they do push very hard for us to use it
Edge is the superior app! (To adobe)
I think I’d agree with that lol
Microsoft finally did it!
