We found that we had to create a defaultapp.xml for ALL of the apps even though we were only changing PDF associations. We are worried about the effect down the road but we only apply this once per build and it applies to all users who have not yet logged on. It also seemed to stick following upgrade from 1511 to 1607.
1. Create XML of Default Apps for Windows 10 using dism 2. Stage xml file on machine after Windows 10 image download 3.

I've been able to make some changes with DISM during MDT deployment so that Acrobat is our default but I can't stop alerts that come up for each profile saying that a change was made to Photos default app. I haven't made any changes to Photos! An app default was reset An app caused a problem with the default app setting for .<ext> files, so it was reset to Photos Sandy Wood Network Engineer Orange County District Attorney (714) 347-8775 (714) 824-0864 mobile ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication with its contents may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.
