    I didn't have this issue until I applied a Windows 10 update a couple of weeks ago.
    I went through the Control Panel>Default Programs route to give Adobe Acrobat Reader DC all its defaults, but still found Edge was being used to open PDFs.
    I've now tried a different tack. I opened Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and went to Edit>Preferences>General, then click the box to "Select As Default PDF Handler". Encouragingly, this opened a UAC dialogue box for me to confirm the change, which implies something has actually happened this time. Since then, PDFs have opened in Adobe Reader DC. However, I may not know if this is a permanent fix until my next reboot...

    Hi 10 is a lot better than 8,8.1,7 or Vista even XP
    What troubles are you having with 10 or is it just Edge Browser you are having trouble with
    I have used 10 and Edge since Beginning of August 2015 and have never had trouble with any PDF file opening or Printing,
    I did when I was using 8.1 and IE11
    I used to have to use a Third Party App

    Edge or Word 2016
    Or even one Note 2016
    They all open PDF ok
    Used to have to use Open Office to be able to read PDF File

    Sorry but I don't get what you show.
    It goes straight in with no converting at all
