To set a specific application as the default for opening PDF files in Windows 11:

  • Find any .pdf file on your computer.
  • Right-click > Properties.
  • On the "General" tab, next to the "Opens with" field, click the "Change" button.
  • Select your preferred application from the list and click "Set default" or OK.
