How Do I STOP Adobe Pop-Ups?

I run Adobe Acrobat (as administrator) from my Desktop.

Acrobat displays a list of recent files.

I open one of the files in the list.

When the file opens, I get a pop-up "See new Acrobat features".

I open my Preferences> General> 'Messages from/to Adobe' and uncheck 'Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat'.

I click 'OK'.
This closes the 'Preferences' page.

I close the file I opened earlier.

I close Adobe Acrobat.

Test
****
I run Adobe Acrobat (as administrator) from my Desktop.

Acrobat displays a list of recent files.

I open the file I used above and the pop-up re-appears.

I open my Preferences> General> 'Messages from/to Adobe' and
the 'Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat' is checked (even though I unchecked it as above).

My Questions!
************
WHY is the 'Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat' being re-checked between opening, closing and re-opening the file?

Additionally, my mouse wheel is tempoarily disabled.
