Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that. As described you are getting the error message 'Acrobat Reader has stopped working'

As you have already tried to repair and reinstall the application with no luck, please tryout the steps shared in the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-dc-crashes-on-windows-os.html and see if that works for you.
