Unable to save PDF files locally on Windows 10

When I click on File/Save As a blank window pops up. I no longer can select where I want to save a document, or the name of the document. I tried repairing Adobi Acrobat Reader, but that didn't help.  I also cleared the Adobe Reader Search Cache.  My only solution is to print the document to PDF.

We are using the latest version of Acrobat Pro (21.007.20099) on a Windows Server 2016 (10.0.14393 Build: 14393) and have unchecked the boxes for 'Show online storage when saving files' and 'Show online storage when opening files'.  We have also unchecked the box for We are still getting the blank screen when trying to save.  We have allowed exceptions to all the Adobe processes in the antivirus software.  We have scoured the community posts and tried everything except uninstalling and reinstalling the program, which is the next step.  The only short-term solution we have found so far, is to stop all the Adobe processes in the Task Manager on the server.  This puts a band-aid on the problem for about 24 hours.  The the problem continues to comes back.
