Acrobat keeps closing with error 0xc0000409
Since a few days one of our colleagues has troubles with Acrobat Pro. Everytime he opens the program or a PDF file, it loads for a couple of seconds and than completely closes. If I check the event viewer, we can see this log:

I tried removing everything Adobe related with Revo Uninstaller, did a CCleaner and reinstalled everything, but the problem remains. Also did a sfc /scannow, problem still remains. I also created the below regkey to disable the option "Enable Protected Mode at startup", but also with this the problem remains...
- Keypath: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Adobe\Adobe\Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown
- Value name: iProtectedView
- Value type: REG_DWORD
- Value data: 0
I have no more clue what we can try, so I hope someone else has some ideas 🙂
Thank you!
