Hi, please help me in suppressing First popup (not welcome screen) as shown below. It says something like " Check out the new Acrobat Reader DC" and has "Start tour" button on it. I would like to suppress this via registry settings since I am packaging this for enterprise distribution.
I have added following registry key for welcome screen which is working and Suppressing the welcome screen I hope, but need to suppress the following . Thanks in advance.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown]
"bShowWelcomeScreen"=dword:00000000

According to the docs, the preference resides directly under AVGeneral. General Preferences
Try this path:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\AVGeneral]
"bHideHelpWelcome"=dword:00000001

I just gave it a test, and it works for Acrobat:

Doesn't work for Reader. I'll have to get some more answers on this.

The solution above is for enterprise administrators. It's not wise to edit the registry if you're inexperienced. Just go through a couple of tour screens and close the window. If you still see the tour after the next product launch, post back.

Did you try the copy paste into a reg file I had posted?
Did that work or were you not able to create the registry file?

One way I might suggest, as I understand how you feel. Took the tour a dozen times, won't stop popping up...
Open Notepad, Copy paste the following into the page:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FTEDialog]
"iFTEVersion"=dword:0000000a
"iLastCardShown"=dword:00000000
Then save as, under file type choose "All Files", name the file Tour.reg and make note of where you save it. DO NOT SAVE AS TEXT FILE. Double click on the Tour.reg file to insert it in the registry.

Hi Guys,
Some of you may find that you need to do this extra step if using Windows 10.
After changing settings above in registry - you need to make the sure the local user has at least READ permissions on the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe" key.
Please note that if the user is not a local admin they will not have access to that key so the popup will never go away.
You need to temporarily make the user a local admin, then open regedit as them with admin rights - then give themselves direct READ access to the above key.

still cannot locate the registry file, and therefore still get the pop up 50 times a day
