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. I’ve reported this problem to Adobe twice already, but have yet to hear back from them.
#ADOBE DC UPDATE SOFTWARE#
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. However, this doesn’t make much sense as the service would be replaced and updated if you reinstalled Acrobat Reader. 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. For more information, see Flash Player end-of-life. Adobe has ended support for Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourages content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to new open formats, such as HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssembly. 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. As mentioned, Acrobat still tells it needs Flash Player to run the the video and blocks the video.

It can even slow down your computer’s start-up time. The updater service seems to become a bit confused when the program it’s supposed to update has been uninstalled. For reasons unknown, Adobe leaves its Acrobat Update service service running even after you’ve uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader.
