    Hi gavinmmesserly​,

    Could you please let me know what happens when you try to launch Reader DC?

    Do you see any error message?

    Which Operating System you have on your machine?

    I'm running Windows 10. I don't get an error message at all. The hour glass

    appears and then goes away; nothing happens at all. And NOW my Microsoft

    edge doesn't even open up properly to view .PDF files. Microsoft Edge

    opens, I get a glimpse of it, then it just closes.
