Hi @ryanw69154912 This happens to me from time to time, too, and then tends to correct itself with a system reboot or Windows disk clean up. Also, sometimes, I can open a PDF with a black (or lost) thumbnail icon and when I save it again, the correct icon appears. Are you using the latest version of Acrobat DC through Creative Cloud?

 

A few other things to try is setting the default. Right click on any PDF icon and select "Open with" then select "Choose another app." Select Acrobat and check the box "always use this app to open .pdf files." Also, through settings, "Choose default apps by file type," and scroll down until you find .pdf and make sure Acrobat is set as the default.
