Adobe 11.0.3 keeps running after closing the program and uses all cpu

Question

After closing Adobe reader it remains in the background on task manager and uses about 25% of CPU for each instance, each time a pdf is closed it adds another instance in the background, when there are four my cpu is maxed out.  I have to use my computer with task manager always running so I can end task each time I close a PDF.  I tried the solution stopping welcome screen with registry fix and other fixes for prior versions, none help.  Running Windows 8.

In order to deploy via GPO, you need to create AIP (Administrative Installation Point) for Reader 11.0 and then patch that AIP with 11.0.04 to create AIP of 11.0.04
Method:
1. Extract Reader 11.0.4 exe via the following command line,
AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe -sfx_o"<extraction_path>" -sfx_ne
e.g. if you want to extract to c:\temp_folder
you should run the following command,
AdbeRdr11004_en_US.exe -sfx_o"c:\temp_folder" -sfx_ne
You should see the following six files in c:\temp_folder,
ABCPY.INI
AcroRead.msi
AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp
Data1.cab
setup.exe
Setup.ini
2. Now navigate to "C:\temp_folder" folder to create AIP for 11.0 in "C:\Rdr11AIP" and follow the wizard
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Rdr11AIP"
3. Now navigate to "C:\Rdr11AIP" to create AIP for 11.0.4 in C:\Rdr11AIP" and follow the wizard
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Rdr11AIP" PATCH=<"Path to 11.0.04 patch location">
for this example, "Path to 11.0.04 patch location" is going to be "c:\temp_folder\AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp"
So the command would be,
msiexec /a AcroRead.msi TARGETDIR="C:\Rdr11AIP" PATCH="c:\temp_folder\AdbeRdrUpd11004.msp"
4. You will see following files in your "C:\Rdr11AIP" folder,
AcroRead.msi
Common
CommonAppData
program files
Win
Windows
5. Now copy the contents of this folder to your network location and link the AcroRead.msi file in the Group Policy Editor, you are now ready the deploy 11.0.04
Hope, it helps.
