Impossible to put adobe reader by default app in win 10
New computer running windows 10, downloaded the latest adobe player and says he is the default for pdf files. When I right click on a file with extension pdf, it comes back and says cannot open. I start software adobe reader and it will ask if I want her to be default, whenever I start the drive. One reason why the setting is NOT defined?
Hi Virgilijus, slope of Grahame, Jason Freeman
If you use DC, try the fix from here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/acrobat-dc-november-25-2015.html
Or try the steps mentioned in the article: Reader/Acrobat is not the default PDF owner | Windows 10 threshold 2
Thank you

PDF Adobe Reader by default manager process
Currently, we use Adobe Reader XI in a Windows 7 environment but have recently been deploying PowerPDF of shade to complete. Adobe Reader XI is still the default, but some sites have had problems - we found the solution is to open Adobe Reader, select Edition-> general Preferences and click Select Manager of default PDF. This solves our problem by running a Setup program and eventually fix any files have been modified by the PowerPDF, same if PowerPDF was never defined as the default value.
The problem is that we do for over 900 users in several offices. Y at - it a command or an automated way to run this process through Group Policy or a script? It is not as simple to select only a default file association, that he must perform as exactly the processes of whatever by clicking on "select default PDF handler" don't. Thank you!
While comparing registry PowerPDF install vs the default PDF Manager process I think I could find a solution to the issue - it is the result of the install of PowerPDF deletion of a registry key.
With XI of Adobe installed before PowerPDF, the following key exists:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content-MIME/pdf
It contains the following strings:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content MIME/pdf\Extension: ".pdf".
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content MIME/pdf\CLSID: "{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}.
When installing PowerPDF, I confirmed that the whole key for HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content MIME/pdf is removed, even if PowerPDF is configured to not be by default in the Customization Wizard of their. I could see that running Adobe "Select default PDF Manager" adds the back, the question of fixing. Fortunately, adding back registry keys are an easy solution.

A Windows Installer patch (.msp file) is a file used to provide updates for Windows Installer applications. The fix is a stand-alone package that contains all the information needed to update the application.
A hotfix package contains updates the actual application and describes which versions of the application can receive the fix.

Impossible to uninstall Adobe Reader. Error code 1635. Help.
I can't view the Adobe Reader files. I have Windows XP home edition, Service Pack 3. I use i.e. 8 optimized for MSN and Bing. The error code is 1635. When I try to install the 9.3.1 update I refused permission, said that I have to prove the patch exists & I admit. When I try to remove the program through the control panel of configuration (Add/Remove Programs), same thing.

Impossible to reinstall Adobe Reader, help.
Original title: Adobe Reader
I had difficulties recently open PDFs, most of the time that they open ok. Thinking that my Adobe Reader may be corrupt, I uninstalled the program, but cannot download Adobe Reader after many attempts. I view the Recycle Bin and tried to reinstate the program, the program has disappeared from the trash and didn't reinstall, I rebooted my system and still unable to download Adobe Reader.
Any thoughts anyone?

We have a new office that will not open .pdfs or open Adobe Reader. The version on the computer is 9.5.2. When I try to install the updates or install Adobe XI, the installation process stops before the end because he said that Adobe 9.5 is currently open. But we cannot open Adobe 9.5, and the Task Manager does not appear even the program as being open.
I tried to uninstall the program, but were unable to for the same reason.

TA and greetings, jim [macsproot
Make sure you download the installation files Adobe Reader first.
Close all programs including web browsers as Adobe Reader adds extensions for your favorite web browser.
You must also run the System File Checker utility and temporarily disable your anti-virus utility:
Click Start
Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
Click on "Run as Administrator"
At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannowThis will check for any breach of integrity
Restart your system
If the program persists, try to download the full Setup files:

If the problem persist, use an alternative PDF reader such as Foxit Reader:
