Change how Acrobat updates - when and how

Acrobat on Mac currently doesn't update through the CC app like all other Adobe apps do. I'm attaching a screenshot of a pop up message I've seen a couple of times over the years where I've gone to restart my Mac to be informed that without my knowledge, Acrobat was installing in the background and I couldn't restart. When pressed for a deadline this was especially unappreciated but further, I do like to have control of when and what gets updated. 

I’ve taken the steps of turning off the auto update within the Acrobat settings, however, the application is a complete scourge at nearly daily popping up message that it is “unable to check for updates” yeah…no kidding. You give me NO option to dismiss these for good. 

So, let’s figure it out. Either give me control IF and WHEN Acrobat gets updated via the CC app like all other apps, or the option to permanently dismiss this message. I’m about at the point of uninstalling Acrobat and moving to another application all together to view PDFs.
