Three days ago, Acrobat just stopped launching. I click on the icon,  and the cursor "thinks" for a second, then stops, and nothing happens. I have already tried repairing and reinstalling Acrobat, the whole CC app, and all the programs with no success. I'm out of ideas here; by the way, I'm using windows 11.

Update 2. Rebooted in safe mode with online capabilities and an Acrobat CEF error popped up. I attach a screenshot. @AkanchhaS8194121 


Update 3: I've just updated windows 11 to the 22H2 version, and the problem is solved. Have no idea what was it,

Hi all. About 3 weeks ago, Acrobat stopped converting PDFs to Jpeg images, then about a week after that its stopped loading completely. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it 3 times now. It works initially, then wont load again the next day. I cant find anything on these forums to fix the problem, none of it makes sense, and adobe doesnt seem to offer any support for my subscription.

    Hi @vicveco 

     

    Sorry to hear about the trouble caused.

    Since you have already tried repairing the application and uninstall-reinstalled the Acrobat with CC. 

    Please try the below method:

    1- Reboot your computer.

    2- Close the CC desktop app.

    3- Run this cleaner tool to remove the existing installer and application’s files traces:

    Download the Acrobat installer from here:

    Thanks,

    Akanchha

    Hi Akancha, thank you for your answer. 

    I did exactly as you suggested, but unfortunately, it didn't work—same error, the cursor changes as in loading and nothing.
