Some users might experience Foxit PDF Reader reverting as a default PFD handler after each reboot, even if other application is set as a default PDF handler.
If you run in to this issue please follow the steps below:
1. Check if "C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\reader_sl.exe" (path may vary depending on your installation folder)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Reader_Sl"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Foxit Software\\Foxit PDF Reader\\reader_sl.exe DefaultReader"
2. If it exists, simply rename it or delete it. (use a simple batch script to delete it, see below)
Note: deleting this files does not cause any harm or issues with Foxit PDF Editor

del "C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF Reader\reader_sl.exe
