Can stop Acrobat from telling me "What's New"?

[Sarah25479524cy13]

This is driving me crazy. After this last update, the "What's New" window keeps opening whenever I launch Acrobat, and it just slows everything down. Which, is so annoying when I just need to open a PDF. And it makes me look like a bananahead when I'm trying to share a PDF on a meeting, and have to mess around with these crazy windows. Literally wasting everyone's time. Acrobat is one of my favorite programs because it's so easy, it's fast, I don't have to worry about any nonsense. Why would I? I'm just looking at a PDF! Please tell me there is a way to turn this off. I appreciate the updates, and I know you have to let people know what they are, but the incessant pop ups have to stop. Send me an email blast. Whatever it takes. I'm begging you. 

If there is a way to turn all of that off, please, someone let me know.

Sorry for the typo in the headlilne. It should say "Can I stop Acrobat from telling me "What's New"?

I have watched this stupid What's New like 100 times.  How do you stop this dumb screen from popping up every time you open a new pdf.  It is beyond dumb.  It is crazy.  i deal with pdf all day.  Yes i download your stupid apps.  Stop the pop ups.

Please fixt this ASAP.

Yeah, that's a PITA. Preferences>General>Show me messages from/to Adobe and uncheck "Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat" seems to have fixed it at least for the moment.

Unfortunatly it does come back. 😞 Sigh...

I have experienced the same problem. I have unchecked Preferences>General>Show me messages a few times, clicked OKAY a few times, restarted a few times, uninstalled a few times, used ACROCLEANER, reinstalled a few times, shouted at the screen a few times, cried to my wife (only once) . . . 

Unfortunately it does come back. 

Big Sigh...

Any help would certainly be welcome, thanks

Wow... At this pace what will be new is our pdf reader instead of parts of it.

If it keeps coming I may give a try to Microsoft Edge as my default PDF reader, which is wild.

I hope the issue gets solved ASAP.

[Inger37938562ggva]

Didn't work, may need to restart 😞

Started noticing this after the last update.  Its driving me up a wall.  I don't care about the AI assistant.

Someone MUST know the answer to this. Wholly unacceptable when sharing a screen pdf to suddenly just have the (totally annoying) rotating wheel

Wake up Acrobat and hear our frustration
