I have Microsoft Edge pre-installed and I changed browser default to Chrome. Every time I try to open a pdf file it opens in Edge and the first page of the document is not visible. How can I open pdf files either in Adobe Acrobat or in Chrome and how can I make Microsoft Edge totally "mute" in my laptop?

Hi:

 

Change the program that opens adobe acrobat files.

 

While you may have set Chrome as the default browser, you still have Edge set as the default program to open pdf files.

 

See item 4 at the link below for where to change this setting...
