For my “convenience” and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

    Windows, on my work computer, decided Monday morning was a good time to turn my default pdf reader to Microsoft Edging. Turns out you can’t delete Edging from add or remove programs.

      ah i got that too!! I thought it was because monday i updated foxit reader and then for some reason it gave back the default to edge! Instead it was edge that took it back by force without my consent!

        foxit reader

        That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I didn’t realise it was still around!

          i’m up to using any alternative that isn’t adobe or edge as my default :)

          I tried sumatrapdf but while was extremely fast to start, it was too “simple” for me, i need better printing support

          i don’t really like foxit reader, they try to push a demo install of the pro version on each update

      Search for ‘change default apps’ and move it back to your favorite program, or right click the pdf -> properties -> change program

        Thanks but I fixed it. I do appreciate you mentioning this in case others encounter it.

        Just you know, I shouldn’t have to do it. I don’t need Microsoft to help me with edging.
