Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2021.011.20039 crashing randomly

I have 20 different computers each with their own subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro.  Sometime in January Adobe on all of them started randomly crashing throughout the day.  Sometimes it is 4 or 5 times a day, sometimes just once a day and sometimes a couple days pass without a crash.  I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe, made sure Adobe has the latest updates, made sure Windows 10 has the latest updates, tried a new profile and nothing seems to fix the issue.  This is what I am getting in the Event Viewer:

 

Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 21.11.20039.0, time stamp: 0x61c60e33
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.19041.1526, time stamp: 0xd9a6be6b

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll

I will also get another entry in Event Viewer like this:

Just created an account to chime in on this thread.  We are also having this issue.  I just wiped one of the PCs and reloaded everything thinking the issue is caused by Windows but it just started happening again.  Hopefully Adobe can get this fixed as users are losing work when it crashes.

Hi Jason

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described the application is crashing randomly on Win 10 and you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps but the issue returns after some time. 

 

Please try to to turn off the protected mode for testing (Win Only) go to Edit > Preferences > Enhanced Security > Uncheck 'Enable Protected mode at startup', Turn off the protected mode and uncheck 'Enhanced Security' > Click OK and reboot the computer once.
Note: Please turn on the security after testing to avoid any security issues.

 

Also, please go through the help page: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-crashes-on-windows-os.html

 

If it still doesn't work, please collect the Adobe CC Logs https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html and Procmom logs https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/acromonitor.html and share them with us via document cloud https://helpx.adobe.com/document-cloud/help/sharing-pdfs.html for further investigation

Hi Amal,

 

I made the changes you requested but the crashes are still occurring.  I have collected the logs you requested and I tried to upload them through the link you sent but I get the following message, "This file type cannot be shared by your account type. Upgrade to send more files types."

 

Please advise.

Amal,

It's been 6 weeks since I've uploaded the logs and there has been no response.  Where are we on this issue?
