Microsoft Edge release notes for Stable Channel | Microsoft Docs Indicates that Edge 100 now comes with an PDF Previewer for Explorer and Outlook.
I have Edge Stable 101.0.1210.47 installed in Windows 10 21h2 (Without Adobe Reader) and cannot prview PDF's from explorer or outlook.
I cannot see an entry in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PreviewHandlers or the equiv HKCU
Has anyone seen this feature working or know how to check its available etc.
I am not really interested in
1. The powertools PDF Previewer
2. Other readers that do the same.

As an FYI, whist this was not working out of the Box in 101, it it working in 102
Can see HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3A84F9C2-6164-485C-A7D9-4B27F8AC009E} and the pdf preview works well.

I had the same issue and as mentioned above, manually adding this key corrected the issue for me.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\ShellEx\{8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f}
(default) = {3A84F9C2-6164-485C-A7D9-4B27F8AC009E}
I believe the cause was removing Adobe Reader.
