Disable 'AutoUpdate' on 'Acrobat Reader DC'

Hi,

At first we've an issue with version 2015.023.20059 which keeps showing the window to the user to select the preferenced theme. We've tried to save the setting from the user into 'RES Workspace' based on a template from RES, but that didn't succeed. Our next step is to install version 2015.020.20039 and disable the update-task and service on Windows-level. Unfortunatly, the application was updated to the last version after a couple of hours user 'SYSTEM' enabled both.

Any option to take?

Thanks in advance!
