Need to know how to schedule Acrobat Reader updates

I was just playing a game, and it crashed.  Starting up Process Explorer, the Adobe Updater process was running.  This is not the first time the update process has crashed my games.  Look, I want it to check for updates ONCE per day, and I want that to happen at boot-up, not two hours or more later.  I do not use any cloud functions, ever.

 

There is no way to schedule updates in the pull-down menus.  I'm tired of Acrobat Reader stealing the focus during updates and crashing my games.  I've had to contact support about that in the past, and it appears that it's snuck back in the program again.  So, how do I set Acrobat Reader to update only once per day, on startup?   Thanks in advance.

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

 

 

Adobe Acrobat Reader is set up for automatic updates by default. It does not provide any UI option in the preferences to control this setting.

IT Administrators can control the update settings using the Adobe Customization Wizard or the Windows Registry.
