Acrobat Pro Hangs When Launching

Question

Windows 11 Acrobat Pro latest version.

When I launch the app, it opens no problem, but within 10 seconds, the app freezes. It doesn't matter if it's just opening or I double click a PDF. I think Acrobat is trying to load something. After about half a minute or a little longer, the issue clears up and it's running like it should.

Any ideas?

Hi @Chris Panny,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble with using Acrobat.

Would you mind trying the steps below:

Go to Menu > Preferences > Documents > Lower the number written in "Documents in recently used list" to 10 or below > restart.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Souvik.
