Acrobat XI vs. Win 11

Question

Any file in Acrobat XI is loaded and opened, but after 20 seconds, the entire Acrobat always closes. I have Win 11.
I don't want Acrobat DC, it's awfully slow and takes a long time to load anything in it.

Acrobat XI is an old and unsupported version (although I agree it's superior to DC in many aspects), and is not officially compatible with Windows 11. To increase the chances of it working on it make sure you have all updates installed (up to 11.0.23) and run it in Compatibility Mode with an earlier OS, like Windows 7.

Updates are available here:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/
You must use a dedicated FTP client to open the link, it won't work in most browsers.
