Adobe doesnt remember last save location

Community Beginner ,
Aug 29, 2017 Aug 29, 2017

When we save pdf documents from Outlook Adobe does not remember the last save file location.  It takes us back to a temp location.

How do we fix this?

Adobe Standard 11.0.20; Windows 10

Sandbox was already turned off. My issue started when an Adobe update was installed.Here's what i did to resolve this issue. 

I installed Adobe Reader DC; Rebooted PC; Made Reader default; Confirmed "Save" function returns you to last saved location by saving a document twice.  Opened Adobe Standard, Changed it to default; Saved a file twice to confirm it returned me to last "save" location.

Feel free to update this discussion in case you need further assistance.

Has Adobe fixed this problem yet? I have Adobe Pro and cannot install Reader just to make these moves.

Thank you!
