Glad I found this – thought I had a virus!
I had 2 instances of acrord32.exe – one using 99% of cpu
Hate acrobat – hate the constant do you want to update nonsense…
Have to have it because the HMRC use it and nitropdf doesn’t display all their forms correctly

I did as you suggested, now instead of AcroRd32.exe using 50% of cpu’s, I have two instances of AcroRd32 taking up 100% of cpu’s. Had to kill both in Task Manager to regain use of computer.

I had the same problem; Acrobat Reader would close immediately, not allowing me to apply the “fix.”
I had to uninstall the program, reinstall, then apply the fix.
BTW, reinstalling the program didn’t solve the problem; it only allowed me more time to apply the “fix” discussed here.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for saving me the hassle of reading through tons of useless data before finding a solution.

The box was NOT checked when I opened as you suggested, yet AcroRd32.exe is still using 40+ MB of memory! What’s with this?
