Open documents as new tabs in the same window will not remain unchecked after relaunch

Just as the subject says, I uncheck the option under Preferences > General to "Open documents as new tabs in the same window (requires relaunch)", click OK, close Acrobat.  When I relaunch, the option is checked.

Windows 11

Adobe Acrobat Pro

Version 2024.005.20320 | 64-bit

I have followed this process both opening Acrobat using the default start menu shortcut, and also when launching "As Administrator", but the behavior was the same.

I am at a loss as to how to force Acrobat to retain the option after relaunching.
