Disable automatic updates in Adobe Reader DC?

I recently saw a message when I was about to update Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. I said that it would Uninstall Perpectual Licsence versions of Adobe software. I don't remember if it was all programs or just Adobe Acroabat products. I uninstalled Acrobat Reader DC on my Windows 10 computer. 

Now I will uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader on all of my computers including this Apple MacBook Pro

FOR MAC: Did you ever find a fix to this? I have been trying everything I can find, but I can't disable that pesky updater from rearing its ugly head and interrupting zoom meetings! Adobe Acrobat Pro Dc 2018. I'm on a mac 10.13.6. Thanks!!

Hello all,

I know this thread is several years old, but I've created a registry script to disable updates for Adobe Reader & Acrobat 10/XI/2015/2017/DC.

Here's a link to the zip file - just extract it and run the included registry fix:

If this helped you, let me know!

Thanks,

Brady

This can easily be done this way:

-Control Panel

-All Control Panel items

-Admin Tools

-Services

     -Select Adobe Updater

          - Select STOP under service Status

          -Startup type: Disabled

The 12/2018 update caused many issues with FDF files...

I hope this helps!

I hate this.

I actually uninstalled Dc and reinstalled the previous version. Unfortunately Adobe automatically installed DC version again by itself!

Very annoying and frustrating.

Thanks to everyone for providing alternatives to Adobe.  I spend most of my time traveling overseas and often to remote locations where internet is very slow and/or expensive.  The last thing I need is for my computer to be taken over by Adobe with their updates when I need to send or receive an important email.  Bye-bye Adobe!

I just figured out a simple solution to this problem. Follow these steps:

1. Uninstall Abobe version xx whatever it is.

2. Look for foxit reader version 4.xx. Under 10 mb and no install required.

3. Extract it and place it on your desktop or wherever you want.

4. Right click a pdf file and select open with the file you just placed. Also check the 'always use this program with this filetype' box.

5. When foxit asks would you like to set as default select no and don't ask again.

6. Now don't delete or move that foxit file and enjoy your simple, easy to use, non-upgrading pdf reader!

Windows 10 computer with a metered Internet connection : 200 Mb downloaded for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC 2015.017.20053 update.

My ISP is very happy with Adobe product´s update policy (not me ).

Why Adobe updates are not syncronized with Windows 10 updates configuration ?

Here's how to change the automatic updates setting- Windows Updates

I went to windows update as suggested, I found HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown

but there were NO values set for Name, Type, nor Data. So what do I do next, please?
