Last Acrobat Reader DC freezes Computer

Hi all,

 

I am experiencing a weird problem in my organization.

After updating to version 21.007.20091, all my PCs with windows 10 and 7 freeze.

I noticed that one process named acrocef.exe eats up all memory and blocks the PCs.

If I rename the acrocef.exe executable so it's not launched, acrobat works fine.

 

Any clue?

Thanks

Hello @A. Bagaglia 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

AcroCEF is responsible for multiple components and internal processing so we should not delete/rename AcroCEF/acrocef_1 folders, it will cause you loss of functiaonlities. As AcroCEF is taking care of multiple things, there could be differnet issues with different setup/environment. We have identified few of them and fixed.

 

We need your help in identifying issue at your setup which requires live debugging session with you.

Please write back directly to susoni@adobe.com with reference to this thread for quick turnaround.

 

-Regards
