Disable Product Updates, Online Services, or Welcome Screen for Acrobat
The Acrobat Customization Wizard DC streamlines the task of configuring (customizing) the installer prior to organization-wide deployment. For example, if you have a volume license, you do not need to register and personalize each copy of the product you install. You can customize the installer to not only skip the standard registration questions, but also accept the EULA and fill in your organization name automatically. Other options include:
- Leverage existing deployments by copying enterprise files and registry configurations.
- Modify the registry (via the Registry Editor) and installer tables (via the Direct Editor) directly.
- Optimize the behaviour of the installer by setting up silent installation, pre-serialization, reboot options, languages, and so on.
- Remove previous versions of Reader and Acrobat.
The wizard allows you to disable online features, such as automatic updates and registration of software. Check the following link to learn how:

You can even disable the welcome screen, using the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown]
"bToggleFTE"=dword:00000001
Disable welcome screen: 1 disables the welcome screen in the corresponding product.
