![]() ![]() ![]() How long until this issue come back by itself? This seems like a bug with version 21.007.20091.īut if i revert back to 21.005.20060 - without a way to disable updates. Logged in as a user and still getting the same thing. I created this on our Development server (& in WOW6432Node) and restarted. HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown\ĭisable updates to the web service plugins by setting HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown\cServices\bUpdater to 0.īUpdater within the cServices key did not exist. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\(product name)\(version)\FeatureLockdown\ When I checked in the registry at (As mentioned in post above) I had already used this wizard to check the box to 'Disable Product Updates' & create a transforms file to customize the installer. It showed how to disable updates in the Adobe Customization Wizard. I checked the link Basic Configuration - Deployment Planning and Configuration () Sometimes the installer appears upon close.Īdditionally the folder path C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\ReaderĬontains multiple folders 'acrocef_1' through to 'acrocef_32' which is using 5.2GB of data on a very small C: drive. If opening a PDF file from explorer it can open fine for 2 or 3 times in a row. Click OK to close the application." But Adobe opens fine. Then an Application Error notification "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142).Users get a windows installer prompt with a progress bar stating 'Preparing application for first use'.We get a bit of a mixture of things happening. It is high quality software, so it is going to use disk space and get updated a lot.Hi, just wanted to report another instance of this happening. There is no comparison when you are talking about authoring, reading, or printing PDFs of all possible formats with this software. In reality, both Reader and Acrobat support the PDF format, in all of its forms, going back to the first version and all of its alternative subsets. I think the fact that the updates take place a lot may have to do with the perception that the program is "big and bloaty". In the case of tools like Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Premier Pro, and InDesign many bugs are fixed in subsequent versions which would not be available if updates were disabled. ![]() When security vulnerabilities are found, they are almost always patched as soon as possible. These utilities are updated a lot and for good reason. This is not to say FoxIt is not a good alternative: I simply prefer the feature set of both the Reader and Acrobat. I do not have a problem with any of them, or their updates. As far as bloat is concerned, these tools use a lot of resources when active, but not really when on. I do not have any problems with Adobe Acrobat X or the Adobe CS5 Master Suite. 10 Years ago software was properly engineered and rarely needed an "update"! Imagine you have to bring your car daily/ weekly to the workshop for an "update", no-one would put up with that. in my startup, or I disabled the bits of software that are purely there for automatic update. Dreamweaver), Apple, Quicktime and Google updaters,etc Mostly I found/ tried to find alternative software for because I was too annoyed by all this unasked cr. This is also a great occasion to disable all the other update and checking services, like Java update, Java Quick starter, Macromedia licensing service (for i.e. Note that changes will only take effect after a restart. (unless of course you want it to start up when you start your PC, like I have put there my Backup software and world timer clock) If something doesn't work as it should after disabling, simply redo and tick the boxes again one by one. Most software runs still fine when all the start-up items are disabled, as any missing components are simply loaded when you are starting the software manually. If you sort by location and manufacturer you should be able to easily identify the items that are concerning Adobe Software. It may have inserted itself also in the "Services" panel to start there as well. Try this: In the Start menu select run, type "msconfig", hit enter (in Win 7 enter it in the search bar) Select the tab for "Startup" Un-select the items that are in relation to the Acrobat update manager. Fair enough if you have other than PDF readers that you are relying on. ![]()
