Adobe Acrobat Reader 2017 has stopped working correctly.

[TranslatorPM]

OS: Windows 10 home

Installed: Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017

Issue: when opening a PDF file, I get a pop-up error message stating: "Adobe Acrobat Reader 2017 has stopped working correctly.  Please close the program"

Closure of the program will only then allow for Acrobat to open the desired file.

Attempted solutions: uninstall, restart the PC and reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 (X3): unsuccessful

 Also attempted to engage the "Repair" option unsucessfully.

Thank you for any assistance in this matter.
