Adobe Cannot update, instead goves error
Hello Aabel!
I there’s only one best way to resolve your problem. This is to uninstall Adobe Reader and re-install it again. Make sure that you delete also Adobe Reader old folder in program files in your main drive.
This is the only way we can correct this problem. Updates are coming from its own manufacturer or developer. We cannot just make some system registry manipulation. This might cause other issue to arise in your computer. For me this is the safest way to resolve your issue. After installing the software, get the latest updates again.
Adobe Cannot update, instead goves error
If the built-in update button in Adobe Reader doesn’t work when you try to update the program, check your internet connection. If your computer is connected to a Wi-Fi router via network cable, disconnect the cable from the network port at the back of the CPU then plug it back in. Open your web browser and visit a website then try clicking some links.
Verify that there is internet connection. If this doesn’t work, disconnect the other end of the cable from the Wi-Fi router then connect it back. If this doesn’t work, restart the router. If the router has a power button, press it to turn it off then unplug the router from the power outlet for about ten (10) to twenty (20) seconds.
Press any button on the router to discharge any leftover power or to power cycle. After this, plug the router back to the power and turn it on. On the other hand, if internet connection is working but Adobe Reader is not updating, just download the update manually. You can download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
