I need help with improving accuracy of Adobe Compare Tool.

Under my normal Windows 10 environment, Compare Results can be inaccurate like false reporting changes in Images.

After tweaking my Windows 10, Compare works as expected and false reporting of change in Images disappear.

What I tried works are as follows:

  1. reboot computer
  2. close irrelevant Apps
  3. keep Window Size to bare minimum for following

        Adobe Pro

        PowerPoint 365 Business

I apologise mistake in wording Title. It should read 

non-Adobe settings for Powerpoint "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Add-in"  accuracy? minimal Window Size worked for me.

Otherwise, same image in revised PowerPoint is reported as replaced.

Minimal changes in the asset, even if mechanical, may trigger that.

You should keep all of your "compare problems" posts together, instead of each time posting a new topic. The answers will be more rewarding to you.

Except for the reboot, that sounds like black magic. Are you sure that the images were not changed? Images are very sensible and non visual changes may trigger that.
