That's on Win7, but it doesn't look like if MS' approach to the feature has changed between both Operating Systems. Sure enough, it also listed Nitro Pro, but I became suspicious because the default icon of the tool wasn't displayed in the overview screen, whereas for all other programs it was. Next doublechecking the application's path that's another column in the same overview , I found that it listed an old path, not the current one.
I had changed a folder name in the path at some point, an was surprized to find it back in this overview. Not only the most recent and correct one: somehow the obsolete name had also pertained. Next browse to the correct location, select the executable, and click "Open" button. I'm not claiming that the same is happening in OP's case, as several elements of the "Open with" menu seem to behave bizarrely see e.
The app will now appear on the Open With context menu so if you do not want it to be the default app, go through the process again and select Adobe PDF Reader as the default app. Windows registry has become a bit disorganized over the years and it is difficult to figure out what is going on.

I had success to make a program selectable and use default in Open With context menu. The solution above is working well but usually users don't want to use context menu at every time instead associate to file type.
As we are in a managed environment and not automatically associate anything via SCCM deployment therefore a small workaround could be:. I made the following PowerShell script and the trick will be done when running at add-package as run in machine-context and put necessary data into native registry. Yes, this script could be easier and more transparent, but for testing purposes should be fine for first shot:.
Path: PowerShell. After adding and publishing the package, it can be browsed from more applications in Open With and the user can be set it up as a default one.
Here not mentioned but take care when removing the package; there should be another script which removes entries added when publishing.
Everything in the registry appeared correct, shotcut. Further inspection of the exe's properties showed the same details were missing from the exe's Details tab. Once I ran the script and saved the exe which automatically backs up the original I could then both see all the new details I'd added in OpenWithView, and shotcut. Create a free Team What is Teams?
