I am turned off protected view in enhanced security but is there any way to turn off protected mode at startup off?

Protected Mode is not connected to startup. It's either always on or always off. If you disable PM via the UI or a registry key, it will always be disabled and the setting will not change on startup.

and when it is published to an endpoint this happens
the only reason I am doing this is when we are trying to open up a pdf in outlook it is giving an access denied error but when you turn off enable protected mode at startup it works fine.

Hi Krista,
I'm guessing the outlook error could be a bug, though I haven't heard of such an issue. Protected Mode should work transparently in the background.
The changed PM setting in an AppV environment also seems odd. Make sure you are following the deployment guidelines here: App-V Deployment: Acrobat DC — Enterprise Administration Guide. Meanwhile, I'll ping some folks on my end for some ideas. . .

I turned on logging and when I just tried to open a pdf from a file share I received the same access denied error, and this is what is in the logs, if i uncheck protected mode on startup it will work:
