Choose Applications Adobe Acrobat DC, select the Acrobat DC Uninstaller, and double-click it. Follow the onscreen instructions to uninstall Acrobat. In the Authenticate dialog box, type the macOS user name and password for an administrator account and click OK. Update to the most recent version of ADE, then try downloading or transferring the ebook again. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling your version of ADE and installing an older version, like ADE 3.0 or 2.0.1, which are available from Adobe's website. Microsoft will only issue an updated Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer & Classic Edge (not Chromium Edge) if there is a new security vulnerability with Flash Player. You may have to wait months for that to happen since Flash Player is hardly used these days and Adobe & Microsoft plan to end support for Flash Player by the end of 2020. My new software for Adobe Reader X downloaded and installed just great without any pop up's. And I have my Adobe Reader X software is back working normally again. Thank you so much Adobe.com & Microsoft Fix It for Windows 10. Happy days are here again. All of my Adobe Reader X PDF files were still in my account and ready for me to use.

'Adobe Acrobat Update Task' The Scheduled Task has the default Triggers/Conditions/Settings - however, it never runs. Even manually running the task does not trigger an update. I have also manually installed both the AcroRead.msi and AcroRdrDCUpd.msp and bypassed the transform files and still no auto updates.
