Acrobat Standard crashes upon opening

It looks like you've already done a lot of solid troubleshooting. Here are a few more things you might try:

1. Try Compatibility Mode: Right-click the Acrobat shortcut, go to Properties > Compatibility, and run it in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows (e.g., Windows 8).

2. Turn Off GPU Acceleration: If you can get it to open even briefly, go to Edit > Preferences > Page Display and uncheck Use graphics acceleration. If not, try launching Acrobat with the /n switch via command line to bypass loading documents.

3. Create a New User Profile: Sometimes, corrupted user profiles can cause app crashes. Try logging in with a different Windows user to see if the problem persists.

4. System File Checker: Run sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt to check for and repair any corrupted system files.

If all else fails, Adobe’s support team can often analyze crash dump files more thoroughly and provide a tailored fix.

It sounds like you've tried several troubleshooting steps already. Here are a few additional suggestions:

1. **Update Graphics Drivers**: Sometimes, outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause issues with applications. Make sure your drivers are up-to-date.

2. **Check for Windows Updates**: Ensure your Windows 10 system is fully updated. Sometimes, system updates can resolve compatibility issues.

3. **Disable Protected Mode**: Try launching Adobe Acrobat in Safe Mode or disabling Protected Mode by going to `Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)` and unchecking "Enable Protected Mode at startup."

4. **Review Crash Dumps**: Since you have large crash dump files, consider analyzing them or reaching out to Adobe Support with these files for further help.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, contacting Adobe Support directly with your crash dump files might provide more specific assistance.

I did notice that it opens fine on another user profile on the same computer.

Hi,

I'm also facing the same issue with version 22H2. Like you, I tried to resolve it on my own, but without success. I then contacted support, and they tried to assist me, but unfortunately, that didn't work either.

I've sent them my logs, and I'm hoping for a resolution soon.
