#Appends an underscore '_' to the Registry key for Edge
$Edge = "HKCR:\AppXd4nrz8ff68srnhf9t5a8sbjyar1cr723_"
If (Test-Path $Edge) {
Set-Item $Edge AppXd4nrz8ff68srnhf9t5a8sbjyar1cr723_
}

 

that is not needed, just select the default app for PDF files and that's all.

 

.

 

Not at all. Whenever I do that, in a couple of hours or minutes, Windows automatically sets Edge again as the default pdf viewer. This is noted in the post I linked to.

 

Thanks.
I did append an underscore to that key. But after a few hours, Windows again assigns Edge as the default pdf viewer.

 

If so, then You're a specially loved person by Microsoft to whom happens such a things. In any case, such things don't happen to me, nor have they ever happened, no matter what program I set to open .pdf files.
I have regularly used Adobe Acrobat, Foxit Reader and Sumatra. No problem. Even if I set some other app as default, still not happen.
Simply Microsoft loves You, that's it.

 

Awesome reply brother . havent found such a great reply on our MDL before by anybody else. you are a very nice person

 

kaljukass .......... Thank you for your personal , subjective reply .......... i didnt write that script ........... it was written to try to solve a problem ......... that i and others have regularly = The .pdf file association keeps changing to edge .......... so setting it to not be opened by edge in the file association section doesnt work permanently .

Same with automatic updates . It turns itself back on again . That happened to me twice .

Both problems have been talked about here on this site .

I'm sorry I didn't realize right away that you're only posting to insult other people personally. Sorry to bother you.
From now on, I won't see your grumbling messages anymore.
You're just blocked for me as a malicious user, a typical troll.
Live well!

 

You are the one insulting other people, are you unable to realize it?

 

For me, creating and using this reg file succeeded in preventing Egde from being reassociated with pdfs, while no other method worked.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;File Types: .pdf
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppXd4nrz8ff68srnhf9t5a8sbjyar1cr723]
"NoOpenWith"=""
"NoStaticDefaultVerb"=""

 

Why dont you apply custom application association xml to offline wim index or if you know how to do it on current installed online system.
