Auto update Acrobat 2017 without user prompt (silent update)

New Here ,
Apr 16, 2020 Apr 16, 2020

Hello,

 

I'd like to set up automatic updates for Acrobat 2017 without any user prompt. 

I've already set the following values according to this document:

 

 

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\Products\{291AA914-A987-4CE9-BD63-0E0A92D435E5}]
"Mode"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\Legacy\Acrobat\{AC76BA86-1033-FFFF-7760-0E1108756300}]
"Mode"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM]
"iCheck"=dword:00000003

 

 

 

 But they don't seem to have any effect, as there is still a user popup promting to install a new update. How can I make these updates automatic?
