    Hi Steves5941261,

    The application might got corrupted.

    You may please uninstall the existing application using the cleaner tool-Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

    And download the latest one through- Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

    Let us know if that doesn't work.

    Regards,

    Akanchha

    Thanks, your suggestion worked although I had some trouble uninstalling and

    reinstalling Reader.

    The uninstall program did not work so I resorted to shredding the installed

    version of Reader with McAfee. After several unsuccessful tries at

    reinstalling the Windows 10 version of Reader DC, I was finally successful

    by installing the Windows 7 version. I guess this is because my PC was

    originally running Windows 7 but was upgraded to Windows 10.
