Change a Default Application

Last Updated 2 years ago

The guide below is intended to outline how you can change what app your PC will use to open a specific file. In this case, we will be changing how the PC opens a PDF document.

Click on the Start Menu and click on your settings.
Select "Apps" from the left hand pane.
Select "Default Apps".
Scroll right to the bottom of this page and click the 'Choose defaults by file type'.
Enter "pdf" into the search box, and click on the application that comes up. (Note: In this case, we are changing the app that opens a PDF file. If you want to change a different file, please search for this instead)
Choose a default app from the popup options, and then press the 'Set default' button. In this case, we want to change the default application to 'Adobe Reader'

If you have any trouble with any of the steps above, please email support@storybridgetechnology.com.au for assistance.
