How Do I STOP Adobe Pop-Ups?

[icanopit]

I run Adobe Acrobat (as administrator) from my Desktop.

Acrobat displays a list of recent files.

I open one of the files in the list.

When the file opens, I get a pop-up "See new Acrobat features".

I open my Preferences> General> 'Messages from/to Adobe' and uncheck 'Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat'.

I click 'OK'.
This closes the 'Preferences' page.

I close the file I opened earlier.

I close Adobe Acrobat.

Test
****
I run Adobe Acrobat (as administrator) from my Desktop.

Acrobat displays a list of recent files.

I open the file I used above and the pop-up re-appears.

I open my Preferences> General> 'Messages from/to Adobe' and
the 'Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat' is checked (even though I unchecked it as above).

My Questions!
************
WHY is the 'Show me messages when I launch Adobe Acrobat' being re-checked between opening, closing and re-opening the file?

Additionally, my mouse wheel is tempoarily disabled.

Its offensive that we have to deal with this. How is Adobe this bad at user experience design? Every time I open their app i have a two minute disruption to my day and i have to close three separat pop ups to just get to my task at hand. I no longer have cable because I cant handle the disruption of an ad. Don't interfere with my headspace Adobe. You DON'T have my permission to push me ads. I CAN do this without you.

They are only incentivized to offer a minimally viable product, anything else would be a waste of resources.  It feel really horrible to daily run into the enshitification of everything.  It trully feels like so many of these providers aim for the absolute minimum point of workability.  But don't worry.  Some other startup will start up, draw in obscene investment, provide a wonderful product to get the public fully onboard, once userbase is locked in go private, maximize profits above all else until it all withers into useless unpleasant garbage and then the cycle can begin again.

Yeah this is some absolute BS.

Every single time I open Adobe now, for the last week or two, I get a pop-up. Usually a second or two into using the app.

I've turned off the 'Show me messages' option, but to no avail. And FYI this is on multiple computers affecting multiple users, both business and individual, so it's not a localised issue.

Absolutely spammy rubbish. 100% just pushed me to using FoxIt instead.

Every setting that even looks like it could generate a pop up has been disabled or unchecked.  I still get non-stop annoying pop ups.  I have re-installed it.  No different.  Stop bugging me with these begging pop ups and let me get to work!

Not the most optimal, but what I use for a workaround is if you always leave one PDF open, you will only get that pop up the first time you open the first pdf. Hope that helps
