![]() This tutorial was last updated for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC version 2015.020.20039. Come to think of it, I think I’m still waiting on to hear back from Adobe on bugs I submitted to them back in 2008! Until they sort out the issue with their uninstaller, this tutorial should help people get rid of the software. Delete Adobe Updater from Microsoft Management Console Invoke the Run command box by pressing Windows + R Then type services.msc and hit enter Navigate to Adobe Acrobat Update Service from the list of services Right-click on it and select Properties Under the General tab, navigate to Startup Type. Another option is to go to Edit>Preferences>Updater and select the option 'Do Not download or Install Updates Automatically'. On Windows, choose Help>Check for Updates>Preferences and uncheck the 'Automatically check for updates' box. I’ve reported this problem to Adobe twice already, but have yet to hear back from them. Most Adobe apps, such as Acrobat, have Updater settings in Preferences. ![]() Other Adobe software all use their own updater services, so leaving this service behind on the system just looks like a bug in the uninstall program. Adobe Flash Player might stop working and you won’t be able to watch videos. However, this doesn’t make much sense as the service would be replaced and updated if you reinstalled Acrobat Reader. If you disable the AdobeUpdater.exe process, you will stop getting automatic updates for all Adobe software products. It’s possible that Adobe decided to leave it in case you changed your mind and reinstalled it later. I don’t know why the service is left on the system after Acrobat Reader is uninstalled. Press Enter after carefully typing in the command:ĭel "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\"Īll you’ve to do if you want to restore the service is to reinstall Acrobat Reader from Adobe’s website.
