My Acrobat DC suddenly only opens as Admin

Question

Hey,

since a lot of the same questions apply to older editions of the program, I am asking again. Without any updates available or installed for Adobe Acrobat DC, my Acrobat suddenly stopped opening from one day to the other. The other Adobe programs are fine. I had a small Windows update a few days ago, but the Acrobat kept working. The Windows extension of Acrobat does its job too, so it's not broken as a whole. I can only open as an admin. Any ideas? Much appreciated 🙂

Hello, the problem resolved itself once I reinstalled my buggy Internet Security Application.
