Sorry, I've lost track. Is your device operational or is it stuck resetting / updating / repairing?
If operational maybe you want to try this.
Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10
I would use option 1 to reset all to defaults. I say this as the problem seems prevalent with PDF's but you mention other file types.
What kinds of add on tools are you running, if any. Cleaners, privacy, telemetry blockers, optimizers or browser extensions that maybe be getting involved? Strange that things would work and then stop. It is as though something is forcing a change.
