There are several approaches to solve this problem. It's equally annoying when it resets your default browser.Īre there any software packages that take this functionality away from the OS and put it back in the hands of the Power User or Administrator? Are there any workarounds using a backup/restore method? For example, Edge is considered a PDF reader, and you will probably have to tell windows "no" several times to separate Edge from showing you PDFs. You can't white-list a program, programs that have multiple file types are a pain (think of all the different image types an image viewer or editor will want access to), and, the biggest problem of all, Microsoft randomly reasserts its dominance to the default program or app that they bundle with the OS. However, the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Which, generally speaking, was a good idea. In a section titled "Changes to how Windows 10 handles default apps" in a blog post, Microsoft explains in doublespeak how they have improved this experience for you because it is so important.
Microsoft added a new feature to prevent these from being hijacked. The particular feature I am referring to is the new way that file associations are managed (aka default apps, aka default programs).
There is no shortage of people complaining about how a new feature in Windows 10 is causing them trouble.
