In windows 10, the file association (designation as to what program opens what kind of file) for PDF's frequently gets set to Microsoft Edge. Most people would like PDF's to open in Adobe Reader for a variety of reasons (better support, form filling, etc.) To reset this follow these instructions:

  1. Find a pdf that is saved on your desktop, documents, or downloads folder
  2. Right Click the pdf
  3. Choose Properties
  4. In the window that appears, click the "Change" button
  5. Choose the program you want to open all pdf's (Adobe Reader)
  6. Click "OK"

Now when you double click a pdf, it will open in Adobe Reader.
