Hi,

I continuously remove the Adobe Acrobat icon from my Windows 10 desktop, but it continues to be readded every so often. I have Adobe Creative Cloud and think it happens everytime there is an update.

Does anyone know how to prevent the recreation of the icon everytime an update is applied?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Andy

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of the icon that you're referring to.

Sorry for the tardy response - I deleted the icon again.

I think it's the standard Adobe Acrobat reader icon - here's the icon from Creative Cloud:

When it respawns, I'll post it.

It's the typical Windows Destkop icon. I delete it too as this reappears after every Adobe Acrobat Reader update. I've seen this occur on Windows 10 and Windows 11. I looked through all the Preferences but cannot seem to locate a setting that would disbale the Desktop icon. It would be nice for the icon to be forever gone if it is ever deleted.
