How I Corrected My PDF Files That Opens as MS Word Unreadable Encoding Format

From the day I tried to convert one of my PDF Files to Word, for updates and corrections. I noticed that all my PDF Files couldn't open normally except I decided to choose the "OPEN WITH" format when I right click on the PDF Document.

 I also noticed that all my PDF Documents were saved as Word and whenever I tried to open directly, it show is MS DOT Encoded Format, which is on readable.

I tried so many method of "Repairing My Installed PDF Raw File" and so on, but nothing worked. Then I stumbled on community online where I found a solution to my long term problem.

STEP TO CORRECT PDF FILES OPENING AS MS WORD UNREADABLE FORMAT:

6. Click on the CHANGE button
