Acrobat Reader - very long delay when I open a .pdf document

Hi,

I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader, Continuous Release version 2024.003.20180, 64 bit on Windows 11 Pro.  I have found that when I open a .pdf document, Acrobat freezes for approximately 30 seconds before the document opens.  After the document opens, it seems Acrobat seems to work fine, but it is incovenient having to wait so long initially.

If anyone here can suggest a way I might be able to solve this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Paul
