Hi @Gilad Koriski,

Thanks for reaching out, and sorry for the troubled experience. This is indeed a weird issue.
When this happens, do you download any PDFs or work on PDFs? Have you noticed what triggers this launch?

Please ensure your copy of Adobe Acrobat is updated. To check for any pending updates, launch Acrobat > Help > Check For Updates.

If you are still experiencing the issue, help us with the following details:

We will be waiting for your response.
