Steps for how to create Hidden Admin-
Create a "Hidden Administrator" user account following the steps shared below and launch the application in that.
1-Hold the Windows Key while pressing “R” to bring up the Windows Run dialog box.
2-Type: net user administrator /active:yes
3-Press “Enter“.
Replace “yes” with “no” to disable the admin account on the welcome screen.

The problem is that it opens not on a system startup but when the network connection (wi-fi on most cases) is restored. So it happens on wakeup for example or just after switching on wi-fi and connecting to a network.
I'm experiencing the same problem with Acrobat Pro DC on Mac.

I am having this issue now too. Adobe opens automatically when I connect to a new/different wifi network. Adobe is not listed in the start up options.

Hi HarshavardhanT,
Thank you for reaching out and sorry about the trouble.
Please confirm if you have tried the second option to create a Hidden Administrator account. If not, please try and let us know how it goes.
If that does not help, let us know if the issue started occurring recently.
Share the current version of the application installed on your Mac.
Let us know the troubleshooting steps you have already tried.
Thanks,
Meenakshi
