Question

Adobe Reader DC not launching

Hi. Recently replaced my monitor with another (Samsung) and installed the drivers. Now my Reader doesn't launch. In the Task Manager the Adobe.exe does show but Reader is not available. I presume it may have been an update from Win10. Not sure if the screen install can cause such a problem.

 

Any help will be appreciated. I have followed the possible fixes on the internet but no luck

 

Thank you

Please try to reinstall the Acrobat Reader.

Thank you for the reply, I have re-installed a few times already and the problem still persists.

 

Suddenly no problem. I checked in Outlook and the icon was for Switch instead of Acrobat PDF Icon. Accidentally clicked and the file opened in Reader. Previously I changed the Always open in Reader option. Will not change that again.

 

Thanks
