I have installed the 2019 version which i much prefer to more recent versions and disabled both the Adobe Acrobat Update Service in Start-up type in "services" and in "Task Scheduler Library." But when i do the monthly windows 11 update, it automatically deleates the 2019 version and downloads and installes the 2024 version instead. Is there any way i can stop this from happening?
Hi, thank you for replying .... This is my home gaming PC (Windows 11) I am the only user and admin, using the free version of Acrobat Reader as it comes! I don't know why the "Updater" is missing under the Preferences options? I have gone through the menu and through my account the Preferences are both the same as my screenshot!!
I've never interfered with the registry settings before so I'm not very confident in doing so, but thanks for your help, I guess I'll have to trust Adobe to let it do it's thing...I normally like to control what and when programs update!
Kind regards,
Steve.
Hi there
Hope you are doing well.
++ Adding to the discussion
Adobe Acrobat Reader is set up for automatic updates by default. It does not provide any UI option in the preferences to control this setting.
IT Administrators can control the update settings using the Adobe Customization Wizard or the Windows Registry
