    You can make the hand tool the default option by trying:
    1)Look under Preferences> Acessibility
    2)Uncheck "Always display the keyboard selection
    3)Then select the Hand Tool.
    4)Close the program
    5)The Hand tool will now be default

    Registry edit works. Tested on windows 11 Acrobat DC version 2022.001.20169.0

    Open the Registry Editor -->

    regedit.exe

    Browse to the relevant key -->

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Acrobat\DC\Selection

    Edit the appropriate value -->

    Change the data of aDefaultSelect to Hand.

    Change the data of bShowKeyboardSelectionCursor to 0
