Disable automatic updates in Adobe Reader DC? <<

Adobe Reader and Acrobat updater settings | DC, XI

have followed the above thread as to disable the auto updater for DC as we have our own patching tools.

however, I am still seeing attempts of out going traffic contacting for the download of AcroManifest.msi.

Registry keys that have been edited are as per below

Windows x86 (32-bit):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\Legacy\product name\product version

  • Windows x64 (64-bit): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\Legacy\product name\product version

Replace product name and product version accordingly. For example: Reader\{AC76BA86-7AD7-1043-7B44-AC0F074E4100}

Under the key, set the Mode DWORD value to one of the following:

0:Do not download or install updates automatically.
1:Do not download or install updates automatically.
3:Automatically download and install updates.
