Can you confirm the version of the operating system you are using?

On Windows, check your task manager, Start-Up tab.

Hi Haertig

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described the PDF file opens automatically when Windows 10 starts.

 

it seems like Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC is in your startup item list. Please try to disable the startup items in Windows as described in the help page  https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html and reboot the device once and check.
