Search not working

[brooket23497080]

Using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. In all pdf documents when opening the find tab, as soon as you start the search I get an error that Adobe has stopped working and it immediately closes. I am using a PC with Windows 10. In some cases it will find all of the word I typed, but as soon as I click next it then crashes. I have tried multiple files and re-downloaded some to make sure it was not a corrupted file. I have updated to the latest version available and tried every search option, like right clicking to find, doing an advanced search, and ctrl-f to search.

Thanks.

Hi Brooket23497080,

Are you logged in as Administrator or Standard user?

As mentioned, that you have already installed the latest update and that didn't make any difference. could you please check whether you have the latest patch installed or not?
