As the title says, I am having some issues with Acrobat. Since I upgraded to 24H2 yesterday, Acrobat is very slow to open when double clicking a file in Explorer. That is if it opens at all. Often, I have to right click the file in Explorer and say "Open with Acrobat" and then wait 30 seconds while the computer figures out it is a computer and should do what I asked.

It was working perfectly before the upgrade and I haven't noticed any other problems with other software, just Acrobat.

I am wondering if I have to change any settings in Acrobat? And if so, which ones?

This is a very common issue that has been around long before 24H2 was born.

What version of 24H2 do you have / had installed?

I had this issue until I updated to Windows 11 Pro v 24H2 Build(26100.2454), the problem (for me) no longer occurs.
Whether its the OS upgrade or something Adobe have fixed I can't really say.

I found the answer here:

Adobe Acrobat Reader version 2024.002.21005 is very slow to start on Windows 11 Pro 24H2.

Adobe Acrobat Reader version 2024.002.21005 is very slow to start on Windows 11 Pro 24H2. Any ideas how to resolve issue? Thank you for all help given.

It turns out that shutting off protected mode seems to do the trick. I scan all of my PDFs with a virus checker before I open them, so I think it should be OK until someone fixes this properly.

Thanks for the answers everyone. :-)

I don't have any Adobe software in my computer currently. The issue I had a couple of years ago with Acrobat was it caused the boot up to take a long time. Turned out to be the settings for an Adobe service. I do wonder how much bloat/flab is in their software.

Adobe Reader Delay

I noticed that when using Adobe Reader there is a delay after I close a file and being able to load a new PDF file. Anyone else have this problem?

Yeah. I had that figured out already. Total PITA to figure out.
