Can't copy image to PDF

 I started getting an error message while trying to add images. It doesn't matter what format the image is in. When I try to insert the image, I get an "unknown error"

Edit a PDF -> Image

Unknow error

Exact version of Adobe Acrobat (64-bit) (25.001.20435)

steps to perform:

Run as administrator

Navigate to Acrobat>Edit>Preferences>Page display>check "Show large images">OK>close reopen app.

Open Acrobat>help>check for update

Navigate to Adobe Acrobat>Edit>Preferences>Security (Enhanced)>disable "Protected View" and "Enhanced Security">OK>close and reopen Acrobat

Create new REG_DWORD buseSandbox  - did not produce results

(Go to key:  HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\ImageConversionPlugin)

I tried all the other options before this: reinstalling, modifying security preferences, modifying signature modern UI preferences, updating from within Acrobat, repairing installation, and so on.
