After I rolled back Windows 11 to the previous update, Edge PDF Viewer worked again.  However,  Windows 11, within less than a day, performed another update and Edge PDF viewer developed the same problem all over again.  It will not save (or save as) any edits.  Disabling the "new PDF viewer" does no good.  This time, I did a  Windows restore to previous date to the point before the last updates.  Everything worked again but Windows 11 insists on, once again, installing Windows Updates and I simply cannot work without Edge PDF editor features.  I work with Microsoft Edge PDF multiple times a day with my students -- their completing homework on it and I grading and correcting the homework.  I've searched and searched for a PDF program that works the same way -- there is none!   I was finally forced to completely disable Windows Updates until Microsoft does SOMETHING to address this problem.  Until then, no more updates for Windows 11!
