When closing PDF files, Adobe crashes with the below error.  PDFs open compleltely fine...just when closing them do we have an issue.  Any ideas for a fix for this?  Have tried repairing Adobe, various setting changes within preferences, and re-activating with no luck.  Version we are on is 2020.005.30362.

 

Thank you

The error in this link doesn't match the error we are receiving.  Please advise.  Further, worth mentioning, is this is a Windows Terminal Server.  Thank you.

Have you tried the steps shared in the help page shared above. PLease try to repair the Microsoft visual C++  Redistributable and see if that works.

You may also try to remove it and reintsall from the link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
