Hi,
The link below is a manual instruction to make Adobe Reader DC, default PDF viewer.

This could be a good solution for home users but not corporate environments.
I see that the issue has also been raised at the following links;
I have tested various methods (registries, imports of AdobeReaderDC.XML by means of DISM, etc) but unfortunately this is not a solution.
The methods in the following links offer no solution;

Is there a solution to make Adobe Reader DC default PDF viewer through a scipt?
My test scope:
- Windows 1703 and later
- Adobe Reader DC 18.011.20035
- Adobe Reader DC 18.011.20040 (last version)
