    Windows 7 Slow after installing Adobe reader


    Hi

    I have just done a fresh installation of Windows 7.

    As soon as I installed Adobe Reader it has slowed my laptop down alot

    Take around 15 seconds to load up a page at time and generally opening apps has slowed down

    I have even uninstalled it but still Windows 7 is running slow

    Using Dell XPS 13 I7-4510U with 512gb SSD

    Can anyone advise what to do?

    I have limited amount of apps installed such as

    Winrar
    Office
    Torguard
    Utorrent
    Chrome & Mozilla

    Hello A3CIB, and welcome to SevenForums:),

    I am not an expert in this but you can "Google", turn of Protected mode.

    It seems to help a lot of people speeding up Adobe Reader.

    Have a look in Edit- Preferences - General- and deselect protective mode. If it does not work for you, you can always put it back on.

    You could uninstall Adobe's PDF Reader and use a much lighter reader:
