AcroCEF crashes

I'm getting this error after starting my computer after a few moments. It pops several times until it stops popping up:
 


Then, if I launch Adobe Acrobat, I'm getting this error several times too:

 

This is very frustrating for a paid subscription product of such a high-profile software.
This is on an AMD 5800H with 32Gb RAM, Windows 11 Home 21H2 (22000.708), and fully updated Creative Cloud suite.

 

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Acrobat several times, it actually had issues getting installed properly in the first place. I also tried Help/Repair Installation from Acrobat, same result.

I'm good, thanks.
1. No, it doesn't work, same message appears when I launch Acrobat.

2. The proposed solution is to disable security features and protections?? Really??

Hi there

 

Turning off security features is only for testing purposes, please turn on the security after testing.

If the application is working fine after turning off the security, please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/protected-mode-troubleshooting-reader.html
