Either PDF or PNG you can set as the default handler Normally Edge is default for PDF and Paint for PNG

@GitHubRulesOK Thanks for your quick response. Do you know why the App name is not available in the Windows settings default App list?

3.5.2 definitely doesn't appear in the list of default apps. It does appear in the list of installed apps and available per file type. But not in the list of default apps. Don't remember about past versions.
