How to suppress initial popup of Adobe acrobat reader DC 19.008.20071

Question

Hi, please help me in suppressing First popup (not welcome screen) as shown below. It says something like " Check out the new Acrobat Reader DC" and has "Start tour" button on it. I would like to suppress this via registry settings since I am packaging this for enterprise distribution.

I have added following registry key for welcome screen which is working and Suppressing the welcome screen I hope, but need to suppress the following . Thanks in advance.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown]

"bShowWelcomeScreen"=dword:00000000

Hi Guys,Some of you may find that you need to do this extra step if using Windows 10.After changing settings above in registry - you need to make the sure the local user has at least READ permissions on the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe" key.Please note that if the user is not a local admin they will not have access to that key so the popup will never go away.You need to temporarily make the user a local admin, then open regedit as them with admin rights - then give themselves direct READ access to the above key.
