Como faço para impedir que o Adobe Reader seja atualizado?

Question

Depois que o Adobe Reader se atualizou automaticamente para a versão 15.023.20053, não consegui imprimir PDFs.

Eu retornei à versão instalada anteriormente (15.020.20042) e consegui imprimir bem, mas o Adobe Reader continua tentando atualizar.

Como faço para impedir que o Adobe Reader se atualize (e quebre)?

    

Answer 1

Você pode fazer isso alterando uma chave no registro:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\Legacy\Reader\{Product Code}

Você precisa alterar a chave Mode :

0: Do not download or install updates automatically.
1: Do not download or install updates automatically.
2: Automatically download updates but let the user choose when to install them.
3: Automatically download and install updates.
4: Notify the user downloads are available but do not download them.

Defina como 0 para desativar as atualizações automáticas.

    

Answer 2

Lets Create a Script that blocks all Updates for Adobe. (Specific solution at the end)

1. Abra o Notepad.exe

2. Cole este código:

echo off
REM *** initial taskkill to avoid conflicts
taskkill /im AcroRd32.exe
taskkill /im AcroRd64.exe
taskkill /im Acrobat.exe

3. salvar como UpdateBlockeradobe.bat

4. Clique com o botão direito no arquivo salvo e execute como administrador.

5. É isso :) No More Updates!

If you want a specific solution to your problem and nothing else then save this code instead of the one above:

echo off
REM *** initial taskkill to avoid conflicts
taskkill /im AcroRd32.exe
taskkill /im AcroRd64.exe
taskkill /im Acrobat.exe
