Whilst browsing my Windows Explorer this afternoon, I notice that all my PDF files (90%) downloaded/saved from Chrome have change to the Chrome icon instead of the PDF icon, the extension is still PDF, the file type was showing as PDF, no preview appeared at the side panel except for the "error PDF preview handler" message and when I open a file it goes to the original URL page.
So I made sure Adobe Acrobat is my default for PDF's, I updated Adobe but have not signed in and restarted the laptop.
The PDF files do now open as normal, the preview in side panel works, but the Chrome icon is still showing next to the file name and file type is now Chrome HTML Document - what is happening?
Not that I think it is anything to do with my OS, but I have a Win 10 Home version 10.01.19041 build 64bit OS and cannot update to Win 11 as I believe my laptop is a little too old (i5-4200U).
