Adobe Acrobat Reader tabs duplicating on their own

Community Beginner ,
May 11, 2025 May 11, 2025

3-4 weeks ago, I got a glitch in my Adobe Acrobat Reader on my Windows 11. As it can be seen in the attached image, my opened PDF documents get duplicated. I open them, wait for a few seconds to pass while using another application, and when I return to Reader, everything is duplicated in the same order it was opened. If I try to close the duplicate, it will close the original tab.

 

I have been using Reader for more than 10 years, and on this specific computer, I am using it for almost 2 years without any glitches ever. I tried updating both Windows and Reader, and it didn't help. I also tried fixing the installation, but it didn't work either.

 

I hope I can get a solution to this. Thank You in advance.

Greetings.

 

It has been a long time since I wrote, but now I have good news. I waited for a time to pass, hoping that some update would solve my tabs duplication issue. It actually managed to fix the problem somehow. I do not have duplicated tabs anymore, just one instance of each tab opened in Reader.

 

Thank You for the help anyway. I hope it won't come back.
