But perhaps, then, you shouldn’t prompt me yet again if I really want to use SumatraPDF and not Edge, after I explicitly configured the default program association for PDF and other files. Heck, I get it, perhaps you - Microsoft - screwed up in the past and that whole thing should be a more conscious choice on part of the user. One nightmare scenario is still when I install SumatraPDF to replace Edge as PDF viewer and add a whole lot of other supported file formats and Windows happily hands me one toast notification after another, telling me it reverted my explicit choice. Besides, no Windows version has been as patronizing as Windows 10. After all why else would I sometimes get to see the ugly black and white user interface for PC Settings, the one optimized for touch-based input, but in many other places it just pops up the good old GUI from the control panel. While the switch to that new unified input scheme started with Windows 8, in Windows 10 it still isn’t finalized. And whoever, like myself, thought the start menu just couldn’t possibly get any worse after Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 was in for a big fat surprise. Sure, Windows 10 has a very stable kernel, but the decisions - in particular to try and unify the user interface across different platforms with different input methods - are pretty questionable. I was never impressed by Windows 10 and I guess it’s not going to change. Also about Windows 8.1, which is the predecessor in (diabolic) spirit.
