I'm going to guess Windows 10? FWIW, your browser is handling it locally. It isn't treating it like a hyperlink lookup on the web.

In the search box on taskbar type "default." > click the "Default Programs" result > scroll down and select "Pick default Apps by file type" > scroll to .pdf and toggle it to your fave PDF viewer.
