Adobe Reader Error 10:10 (IE 11)

Hello.

 

I have about 250 machines on our domain and starting a few days ago, my users cannot open a PDF within Internet Explorer. Trying to do so gives the following: 

 

"There is a problem with Adobe Reader. If it is running, please exit and try again. (10:10)"

 

Of course manually killing any Adobe process does not work. I have tried disabling enhanced security as well as Protected Mode at Startup, which has corrected these errors in the past. However, my only solution for now has been to disable the Adobe Reader add-on for Inter Explorer 11. When this is disabled, it prompts the user to either open or save the document, which works fine. 

 

However, the PDF should be able to open in the browser as it's expected. I'm hoping someone can offer some insight because I have tried every solution Google has brought me to. 

 

Thanks, in advance.

I have several computers that are getting the 10:10 error and they are on the latest Adobe Reader Version. Today 4/19/2024.

What is the fix for the 10:10 error

Update did not resolve the issue for me. On some computers the dll files did resolve it. On others the dll files resolved it for a while but then it reverted back to the same error. And on others the dll files didn't resolve it at all.

Same thing. Rolled it out to 5 Citrix Terminal Servers with no luck.

Perfect, seems to work. But now it is still a manual update, is it possible to deploy this update automatically from within the application? Using the "Check for updates" button?

The computers experiencing this problem have Acrobat DC installed. I have installed AcrobatDCUpd2100520054.msp on most of them and it has resolved the issues. I do have a question: This is an "optional" update. Will the next security patch include these fixes?

Rolled this optional update out on our Terminal Servers with no success. Getting the exact same error when trying to look at reconciliation report inside quickbooks. Others are posting similar findings.

We've had the same experience in our environment. I tested the hotfix update 21.005.20054 on 6/23 but found it made no difference. I reported the findings and provided additional logfiles to Adobe support but have yet to receive any further updates beyond, "Sorry as we do not have any updates right now. We will keep you informed if we get any update from the team." That was last Friday 7/2. I've resorted to re-installing with 21.001.20155 and disabling updates until Adobe can get this fixed.
