Adobe Reader no longer opens pdf files

I've always used Adobe Acrobat Reader to read pdf files since the beginning of the Internet. For the first time ever, I'm not able to use the reader. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I did a repair on the app. I ran as administrator. I double-clicked the file. I reassigned Acrobat as the default app for the files. I followed all the troubleshooting steps recommended. But, there is no solution it seems. If anyone has a solution for this that actually works, I will thank you. Otherwise for the first time in all these years, I will need to find another application. My OS is Windows 11 and my browser is Chrome.
