How to close the adobe reader XI update function via the registry

Question

Hello, my company has a lot of client installed adobe reader XI, I would like to batch to disable their automatic update function, may I ask, by modifying the registry to achieve the automatic update disabled. (Domain environment push registry changes will be very easy.)

Updater can be disabled in Windows registry or in an enterprise deployment.

If you are familiar with editing Windows registry, you can verify the following registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE : SOFTWARE : Policies : Adobe : Acrobat Reader : 11.0 : FeatureLockDown. If there is a registry entry named bUpdater and its DWORD value is 0, Updater is disabled and Adobe Reader automatic updates won't happen.

disable automatic updates reader (Acrobat Reader)
