Acrobat Standard XI crashing shortly after launch

Report · Apr 20, 2020

the issue started today, window 10 PCs, Adobe XI launches then closes within a few seconds.

Anyone else experienced this today? Wondering if its a Microsoft or Adobe update.

I tried everything else before I found this. This is the only fix that worked for me. It's also the easiest fix.

I tried to repair Acrobat Pro XI, uninstall & re-install. I tried Update within the program, all of those 4-5 times.

I thought what do I have to lose. I installed the free Adobe Acrobat Reader on the same machine (don't forget to uncheck the McAfee stuff before you download) I kept Acrobat Pro XI as my default for .pdf.

I loaded a pdf file with the Acrobat Pro XI, modified it, rotated pages a few times and saved the file.

I did that several times. I left the file open and I ran some renads. 3 hours later the file had not closed.

Who would of thought that this would work!

Would you mind clarifying which of the tips offered in this thread finally resolved the issue?

I only loaded the free Acrobat Reader on the same Win 10 Pro machine as my
Acrobat Pro XI.
I made the Acrobat Pro XI my default program for .pdf files in Windows Apps
settings.
The crash problem went away. Nothing else worked.
