but we are currently having issues this last week where adobe reader is crashing windows 10 machines regardless of what version you have. Has anyone experienced this in june 2022.

has anyone had this issue before as ideally need a root cause on why it all of a sudden happened.

uninstall and re install and repair was also done makes no difference.

this is multiple machines and servers also.

so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Rup

If it's on multiple machines, that would point to a problem with the software, or the environment the software is running in. I have not experienced this, and I have not heard about this happening first hand. It is possible that something else on your system is then causing Acrobat or Reader to crash (e.g. something in the operating system). To rule out a problem with Acrobat or Reader, I would run the Adobe Cleaner app to remove anything that a normal uninstall might leave on the system: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html
