Acrobat won't open (except in background)

On and off for several years, I have had a problem where Acrobat will run in the background, but won't actually open. Various workarounds will work for a bit, but the next Acrobat or Windows update usually causes the problem to recur. I have recently updated and I am having the same issue. If I completely delete Acrobat and Creative Cloud, including running the cleaning apps, and then re-install, it'll work...for about a day. I've also tried the registry edit fix which is one of the workarounds that works...for a while. What else should I try?

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud Desktop to Acrobat for you.
