We have installed Adobe version 2021.001.20142 on our 2016 servers. We installed the Google Chrome update version 88.0.4324.182 on the server. Now when we launch Chrome we see an error on the browser as showin in the uploaded screenshots. If you click on it, it prompts fo the extensions to be enabled or remove the extension.

Why would this happen and how to fix this? Appreciate if we could get a reply.

We installed the update patch for Chrome 88.0.4324.182 for Windows. This is on a Windows Server 2008 R2 and it is a Citrix Image.

File a bug as instructed in the link for that update patch and re-check the release notes for Google Chrome update patch. From what I read in that link, it seems that all updates in that version had high priority.

The best idea I can think of is to test that Chrome update outside of the Citrix environment in a standalone PC.

If the error doesn't manifest in the stand alone PC, it may be possible that the logging in or logging off sessions in Citrix are not releasing the user-session credentials properly.

Observe how the users are logging off or signing out from the virtual sessions. That is probably why Chrome is reporting that it appears as if another instance of the program is already using the extension.

Last, check with Micrososft support release notes for both 2016 and 2008R2 server versions.

I don't remember if the 2008R2 version already reached its end of support cycle or if Micrososft extended support for two more years.

You said you have the Chrome update in the server... when you say the update , are you referring to a full installation package that also includes the latest update, or just the update patch for whatever older version of Chrome you have?

Also, what other browsers do you use in that environment? Is that a virtualized environment?

It seems strange because, as long as you have a paid subscription of Acrobat, you should be able to install that extension in different web browsers and use them with it with no issues.

I've used before Internet Explorer 11, the new MS Edge browser, Chrome, and even Firefox when it used to fully support this extension, all of them simultaneously with no issues.

So unless you have some type of specific Acrobat licensing in a virtualized environment it doesn't make sense.

You also mentioned that when you click on the error message it prompts for the extension to be enabled.

Ehat happens if you enable it? Does it even let you do that?

When you click on enable or remove it does as it is expected to do. But, it would show the error on the browser right corner as shown in the image once you close and reopen it.
