I use Adobe Acrobat quite often. Since Adobe STILL hasn't made a 64-bit version of Acrobat Pro for Windows, it has always been extremely slow and freezes constantly. I have wasted so much time waiting for it to catch up with my edits. I finally got fed up yesterday and followed the advice I found here that said I should reinstall it.
Well now it is not only slow, but my workstation pops up the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device" dialog box EVERY SINGLE TIME I OPEN A PDF FILE!
I've spent a good portion of today trying to fix this bug. The best suggestion I found was to reinstall it...
So I thought I'd ask here to see if any of you might have had a similar problem. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the attempt to help "Test Screen Name" (Cool name). But I finally figured it out. For anyone who happens to have the same problem, this is what I did:

Hi @TDPixxie,
Good to hear that your issue was fixed. This message is displayed when the application triggers administrative control requests to the User Account Control and, thus, the dialog box.
Going to Properties and then unclicking the option "Run this program as administrator" should fix it. BUT, to complete the step, a restart of the computer is needed.
The restart refreshes the user permissions and the background on which the application had been running previously.
Hope this clarifies the point.
-Souvik.

Finally found the solution 😁
After trying all the fixes mentioned in comments i realised that I don't have enough patience to keep trying different hacks so I installed Foxit reader and voilla, it worked like charm 😂
