Adobe Reader without startup screen on Horizon View client

Weather007 — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 14:25:53 GMT

I have a small VDI environment with 5 vdi clients. I have tried to update Adobe Reader to the latest, but I can not get it from loading from running first time run screen in Adobe Reader every time a user starts it up. Is there a known setting or a thing I can do prevent it.

Do you use anything other the horizon, like appvolumes, UEM, or something similar to those?

No, just those VDI s. I have Golden Image, where I removed the Reader, added a new install from the Adobe site, made a change in the settings that should help . and then the snapshot and ran compose

I'm assuming you tried something like

Software Deployment : How can i disable Adobe Reader DC Welcome\Learn More?

what may help is opening it shutting it a few times.

Yes I seen this, but it did not help me. It's still doing the same thing. Pops up with "first run" screen.

You can set a registry entry which will disable updates. This can be very handy if you wish to apply this setting to many machines via group policy / logon scripts. To apply via the registry do the following.

Make sure adobe reader dc application is closed
Click start type in regedit and launch the regedit aplication
Browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC\FeatureLockDown]
Right click > New > dword 32bit
name it bUpdater
set base as hexadecimal and value data set to 0 (the number zero) as below
close down regedit

check the below
