I've been looking at an issue for a long time which I can see that multiple people have contacted you about Adobe that Outlook freezes after using the Email button in the Adobe Reader.
Some of the pages I checked before:

(THE FIX) I have found a solution for the issue, a register fix in the RegEdit of Windows.
What the fix does in the RegEdit:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe]
"ResetOutlookConnection"=dword:00000001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have dropped the file of the register fix in the attached files, just remove the .txt. the file ending and then load it into the Windows RegEdit, or grab it from the link.
I also showed which Adobe reader and also which Office package that was installed on the PC at the time of the fix.
