Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Automatic Updates not working

Hi,
I have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (32 bit) and with the option to automatic install updates.

I've also changed the registry flag in order to check for the updates daily. I've made this change about 1 week ago, but from that point forward Adobe didn't update to the new version.

I've got version 21.011.20039 installed, but there is the version 22.001.20085 available.

Any way that I can figure out why it is not updating?

Thanks

Hi David,

Please enable Updater verbose logging (search this forum for iLogLevel registry value and related instructions)

Wait 4 hours, collect AdobeARM.log file from User Temp folder and send me this file in the private message.

I've had the same problem for over a week. I saw there is an issue with some proxy servers downloading the update, and a ftp:// link was provided. However, going to it didn't achieve much - I couldn't access it.

 

Even downloading a fresh copy of Adobe Reader doesn't work.

Hi Leo

 

Can you please provide instructions to do this? Searching the forum I came across https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader-discussions/adobe-reader-dc-automatic-updates-not-working-user-have-to-click-help-to-update/m-p/10386593

However, the registry key I'm after doesn't exist in that folder on Registry Editor. I'm running Windows 11 (64-bit).

You have to add this registry value exactly as the link you found describes.
