Acrobat crashes on startup for a single user and the behavior follows her across computers
I can watch the application attempt to start in Task Manager, and then it dumps out with no visual evidence to the user that anything has happened. She can sign in on another computer and the application with run as the first time startup but, thereafter, the program will not open again. I can long onto the very same computer after her and the program start and runs normally. Whatever this issue, it's contained in the user profile. Steps thus far:
- tested Citrix and found that Adobe worked as expected there (profiles are completely separate)
- tested her on a brand new machine: Adobe starts up as the first-time auto run and works as expected until you close it; thereafter it no longer opens
- removed the Adobe folders from local and roaming profiles on both machines, then retested: no change
- removed folders again AND removed Adobe folder from UEV: no change
- removed folders again AND renamed entire UEV profile: no change, and it did not appear the profile had reset at all (all desktop items were still there at next logon)
