Is there an option to turn off this GRUESOMELY ANNOYING reappearing of this shortcut?
It does this at home and at work every so many weeks. At home I can just delete it, but at work I need to ask IT department every time to do this....

Is this just commercial branding?
What is the point of having this shortcut anyway?

"This issue is addressed with the new version of Acrobat - 23.01.20143"

Amal. this problem is not solved.
During the disastrous* update to version 2023.006.20380 the icon reappeared on my desktop once again.

Yes - I agree.  It seems that either no one knows how to stop this or Adobe doesn't want to answer.  It's very annoying especially since we use OneDrive and my desktop icons get copied to each machine I log into.

Yes.

Please Adobe, stop placing an Acrobat icon on my desktop after every update.

I DON'T WANT ANY SOFTWARE ICON ON MY DESKTOP !
