Since some Windows 11 update, I get this message when setting Adobe as a default PDF application:

 & { . C:\_install\SFTA.ps1; Set-FTA 'Acrobat.Document.DC' '.pdf' }
Write Reg Extension UserChoice FAILED
In C:\_install\SFTA.ps1:467 Zeichen:7
+       throw "Write Reg Extension UserChoice FAILED"
+       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Microsoft blocked ability to write to UserChoice key for .pdf extention and http and https protocols with KB5034765 release

So there is no way to continue using your script?

I added an exception with a skip in script. So, yes, I think no way to automate this action for now.
