Acrobat desktop app does open sometimes but only for a few seconds and then a white screen appears with a blue circle swirling around and it just stays there.   I have uninstalled acrobat and creative cloud and reinstalled them,  restarted my computer, windows is up to date.   I do not know what else to do.  Can anyone help please.

Hi @jobenwin 

 

Thanks for reporting this to us. 

Is this a new installation? We assume you are getting this screen after launching the application.

Could you please try changing the following settings 

Acrobat>Preferences (Ctrl)>Security (Enhanced)>disable "Protected Mode at Start-up", "Protected View," and "Enhanced Security">OK>close and reopen Acrobat [Windows only ]

 

 Check if this doesn't make a difference, and share the following logs with us:

 Procmon Logs: [Windows only]

Note: share the logs by uploading them to any cloud storage.

 

Thanks,
