    Adobe Reader Stopping Update-2


    Recently i disabled the Adobe Acrobat DC Update Service to stop downloading new versions
    Before stopping the status of this service was: Automatic
    I changed it to: Disabled
    After some days i found that Adobe again was trying to update their product
    I again checked the status of the service and i found that it was again: Automatic
    Can anyone explain how that was possible

    Have you checked your anti-virus program? Some anti-virus include a Software Updater feature, that might have altered the service settings.

    Today, again the Adobe Update service started, and failed to update the Adobe-DC product
    I already had disabled that service, but after a couple of days the status of the service was again: Automaticaly


    I wonder: is er a method of Deleting that update-service in steat of disabling?
    If i could delete it, than the update-service is removed at all and that problem is gone
    But how do i do it?

    I did not do it because i could not find this entry in the Windows-registry, when i used: regedit.exe
    But i see that this adobe-service is done with the program: amsvc.exe
    Is it possible that i delete this program: amsvc.exe to cure the problem
    i found this program in: c:\program files (x86)\common files\adobe\arm\1.0\amsvc.exe

    I suspect that doing so will cause more problems. Just create the key as specified in the tutorial.
