How to turn off Adobe Reader updater

How do I turn off the updater. I got 2 replies from the help desk and neither worked.
I'm running version 9.1.
Thanks

Thanks it worked.
The Adobe help desk had me deleting directories and changing keys and nothing worked. Looks like you know their program better than they do !!!
Cheers

  • How can I turn off Adobe Reader X Popup Bubbles Permanently?

    I feel like I've gone backwards ten years to the first version of Windows XP, when everything resulted in an annoying popup or dialogue or bubble that required my attention and my intervention.  My hope is for Adobe to learn the lesson that Microsoft learned ten years ago.
    Adobe Reader X is full of popups.  How can I turn them off permanently?  I've spent hours searching the internet and the forums.  I've seen the messages that explain dismissing a popup on a document permanently turns it off for that document.  I've seen the message that reveals a registry key called "bShowTaskButtonInfoBubble".
    But I want to turn off the popups for all documents permanently.  I don't want to navigate to the tiny little 'x' on the bubble of every document.
    The bShowTaskButtonInfoBubble key doesn't exist anywhere in my registry.  I'm comfortable searching with regedit and making changes.  The key doesn't exist.
    How can I permanently turn off Adobe Reader X popup bubbles?

    In my earlier message, I explained that I found such a message.  It was the
    exact same message you're showing me.
    Now what?  As I explained, that key doesn't exist in my registry.  Is it a
    Boolean?  a DWORD? or what?
    BTW, it's not risky to "search" the registry.  It's risky to "guess" what
    kind of change to make to your registry and then change it according to
    your guess.

  • Turning OFF Adobe Reader XI Availability Notifications

    Hi, can people recommend any ways of automating the removal of the Adobe Reader XI in the System Tray in Windows? (e.g. using SCCM or a script, for over 500 hundred machines)
    It's a bit of an annoyance, and we'd prefer to use 9.5.4 as its more compatible with certain software people need to use.
    Thanks

    Correct me if am wrong, but it seems to me that you simply want to disable Updater notifications to Upgrade from Reader 9.x to Reader XI.
    If that is the case and you do not want to actually disable Updater, you will need to set    iDisablePromptForUpgrade
    DWORD value to 1 in the registry below:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM
    on 64bit OS
    or
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe ARM\1.0\ARM
    on 32bit OS
    If you actually want to disable Updater completely, the proper way is to set bUpdater DWORD value in the Policy registry for the Adobe Reader.
    see this link for example-

  • How can I script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#?

    I would like to script Adobe Reader updates using vbScript, PowerShell or C#, are there any Adobe API calls I use to do this.  There are several different version that I support and auto update is not an option. I do updates at a specific time of the month. I would like to write a script that would download and install the update for the currently installed version of Adobe Reader (32 or 64 bit) for the version of the OS (32 or 64bit). I can detect the OS version and the Adobe version.  I can download updates but I do not want to hard code anything

    Sabian is correct.
    Most admins download the updates from the ftp site and push via AIP, GPO, SCCM, or some other method whenever it makes sense for them.

  • How to turn off the skype update notifications?

    Anybody knows hot to stop the annoying skype update notifications?
    There is no way I will do any upgrades, since skype has burned me in the past, so it would be nice to find out how to stop those...
    Thanks 

    The Updater service does checks (and automatic updates) in the background.  Disabling automatic updates in Tools -> Options stops this service, but does not disable it.  You can disable the service via Start -> Run -> services.msc and finding the Skype Updater service.
    You may also notice that everytime you start Skype there still remains a pop-up dialog box prompting you to install an update.  This is because Skype had already downloaded a new version in the background and was waiting for you to install.  This happened before you disabled the automatic updates and disabled the service.
    To resolve go to Start -> Run -> c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp and look for SkypeSetup.exe.  Delete this file.  Exit Skype and re-launch it to verify this fixed the upgrade notifications.
    I am still using Skype 6.9 due to the recent addition of ads.  This process helps make sure I don't get upgraded unintentionally.

  • Adobe Reader update 11.0.09   Broke my mouse magnifier.  I uninstalled but now I get prompts to install.  How do I get rid of the prompts?

    My gawd this site is the most ridiculously difficult site I've ever seen.  Round and round we go and where we stop nobody knows.  Will someone please tell me how to make the prompt for Adobe Reader update 11.0.09 go away??   It already shows that number was d/l'd in Sept. 2014.  I d/l'd it the other day and it broke the magnifier on my microsoft 5000 mouse.  I use that a LOT.  I can't lose it.  I uninstalled the update and now I get prompts continuously.  What to do? 

    Thank you I will try that.  Why am I being prompted to d/l an old update?  I didn't even know there was a more recent one. 

  • How do i turn off automatic software updat

    Every time I turn around, the little icon that wants me to update my creative software on my computer is running. I can't stop it until it tells me my player isn't connected and then I can turn it off. Thing is- I don't want to autoupdate any software and especially not the firmware. I'm worried that the software will start updating when I do have the player connected. The player works just fine at the moment and I really don't want any firmware or software updates, so I need to find out how to turn off that autoupdate feature.
    Anyone have any idea how to do this?Message Edited by nrfuller on 04--2008 03:32 PM

  • How can I make Adobe Reader Touch remember where I left off?

    When I have closed a PDF, how can I make Adobe Reader Touch remember where I left off?

    Hi,
    Assuming that you have Reader 9.3.4 already installed on your machine, you can try the following to make Reader 9.3.4 as the default PDF opening application:
    1. Right click on any PDF on your system and click on the "Open With" Option in the context menu that appears. In case you get another submenu, click on Chose Program in that menu. (In case you do not see any "Open With" option, then hold down the Shift key and right click on the file)
    2. Click on Browse button in the dialog that appears, and select Reader 9. Make sure that you select the checkbox for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"
    3. Click on OK.
    This will make Adobe Reader 9 as the default viewer for all PDFs on your system.
