I can only assume Microsoft wants Edge to keep popping up, as most of what people do on PCs now involves browsers. (I can manually navigate to it and select it to open that file in it, but the default isn't changed.) And if I go to Windows' own "Settings > Default Programs > by file type" and select Sumatra, the window crashes, and the setting is unchanged. SumatraPDF doesn't even appear in the "Open with > Select another app" list now. That's usually what causes problems like these. Probably more Windows Updates changing things. Instructions you quote and per pick on an existing historic icon you need a fresh link Usually I don't seem to need to as I use both, but select any pdf and then replace handler with exe should work Resetting should work, until as you say some related MS update fettling. Varies from time to time, and MS use of Edge as PDF default, thus blocks SumatraPDF from setting itself as the default for PDF.
