I was trying to save a jpeg and it will only save it in adobe.  I can't save a word document as word or anything else it saves everything in adobe.

One way is to go to Settings and change the default app for any kind of file. Peter posted a link above.

 

Something that could be more practical for you is this:

 

Right click on a jpeg file and choose Properties. In the new window, with the General tab selected, change the application that opens the file. From Adobe to Photos.

 

With the same way, choose Word for a docx etc.

 

Don't forget to click on Apply and OK. 

 

Let us know if it worked for you.
