Question So, Win 11 ....

Adobe Reader won't open. Not by its own link or by double clicking any pdf document. It will show in Task Manager, but that's all.

Corrupted somehow. It's bloatware anyway. What's wrong with using Brave?

After a while, I'll get a dialog box, 'A running instance of Adobe has caused an error.' One button opens a page that talks about a registry change which i tried to no change. It also talks about a repair installation opetion on the Help , which I can't try because it doesn't open.

It used to work fine. This is something in the last day or two, and I don't know what or why.

Try:

running as administrator.
running in compatibility mode (choose any previous Windows version).
leave it running for a few hours and maybe it gets out of the deadlock it's in.
check the Event Log for any clues.

But that is advised as a last resort.

Edge is probably configured to open PDF inside Edge.

Yeah man I tried using the latest Adobe Reader about six months ago for the first time in about five years and performance/launching was so slow opening like 200KB (not MB) document, I was like you got to be kidding me. I went right back to using Edge or Firefox built-in reader.

Stuff in EV I don't understand.

Run as Admin, no go

Then try Acrocleaner.

Is anyone on Zen 4/X670e running 24H2? Microsoft has not given me the update prior to today, and when I tried to install it today, It told me my device wasn’t compatible and gave no specifics. After sfc/disk checks per the internet, the update no longer shows at all. Apparently I am stuck on 23H2, which, I am fine with except for Microsoft ending support soon-ish.

Logs yielded nothing and all of my hardware should be supported.

I am just curious if anyone on a similar platform is on 24H2.

Outside of that, I have an RTX 4090, and except for some USB devices, which I unplugged to test, (except keyboard and mouse) no go.

I recommend starting a new topic in this Windows sub
