Error 16 running Acrobat Standard DC

We are getting the dreaded Error 16 on the installation of Acrobat Standard DC on a new Windows 10 x64 Pro computer (build 1607).  I tried the solutions discussed in this forum but nothing is solving our problem.  We rely heavily on Acrobat Standard for our work processes and this is stopping production!  We uninstall and reinstalled and it worked for a day then the problem came back again.  Acrobat Standard opens, shows the error 16, then shuts down.

We can't continue to reinstall Acrobat every couple of days, so Adobe get your shit together and FINALLY FIX this Error 16 that has been around at least FOR SEVEN YEARS, gosh darn it!

HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED ON WINDOWS 10!?
