I was having some challenges early on with Acrobat DC licensing and spoke with Adobe support to have the issue fixed. Now with the application functioning normally, and not asking for me to sign in all the time, Windows cannot find the application when running a simple search.

The application exists, but I had to manually search for it in the Program Files to add a shortcut icon.

Why does acrobat not appear when performing a normal search in windows explorer?

Hi,

Could you please let me know if Acrobat DC is listed as installed programs under Programs and Features.

Press and hold down the Windows key and press R on your keyboard, type appwiz.cpl in the run dialogue box then press enter.

Could you please let me know which Windows operating system is installed on the machine-7/8/10?

Are you able to find other applications in Windows Explorer using search option?
