04/21/2021, 2:13 PMFor the PDF issue, I had to set the following registry keys in my environment:
Path: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts
Value: AppXd4nrz8ff68srnhf9t5a8sbjyar1cr723_.pdf
Type: DWORD
Data: 0
Path: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts
Value: MSEdgePDF_.pdf
Type: DWORD
Data: 0

04/23/2021, 5:41 PMTurned out not to be a FTA issue but rather Windows prompting new featured apps e.g Edge in this case... thanks all for the tips

04/23/2021, 5:42 PMYeah, we battled this when v1803 came out. We set that "Do not show" setting and it fixed it.
