If you find clicking on a file or an email/web link does not open the correct program then you can change the default program in which Windows will open for that file/link you are clicking.

If you have trouble opening PDF files or they are opening in the wrong program then you may need to install Adobe Reader from here: Adobe Reader Download

But simply following the below will change the default programs for other programs and remember for every other time.

• On the Start  menu, select Settings .

  • Email
  • Maps
  • Music player
  • Photo viewer
  • Video player
  • Web browser
• Click on the app you want to make the default.
