Is there GPO, Registry Edit, or something that can turn off the "Mark-up your PDF files with ink and highlights. Set Microsoft Edge as the default PDF reader?" question?

This is causing users in my environment to click the blue button and reverting their default pdf handler to Edge when they need Adobe. This would reduce incidents greatly if we could disable this prompt all together.

From what I know, there is no such a policy yet.
However, you may open the Microsoft Edge and in the ...->Help and feedback->Send feedback and share your concern with the team.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in our forum.

The latest versions of Microsoft Edge come with an option that lets you control how it handles the PDF files:

In Microsoft Edge, press Alt+F (or click on the ellipses right below the X button in the top-right corner) and choose Settings;
In the left-hand column, click on Cookies and sites permissions;
In the right-hand screen click on PDF documents in the middle of the Site permissions list;
Finally, turn on the option Always open PDF files externally.
If your version of Edge does not offer this option, then the following registry modification might work, read on.
