Hi
For the last 2 months the problem is persistent. Acrobat crashes after some hours. First, some hours, now just minutes. I've tried to reinstall (one, two, three times...) and, no way, it crashes. After that it doesn't even open.
I've seen the topic about this problem with 2 monitors but I didn't find any solution. For 2 years it worked quite well. I have no problems in other computers in my office.
Windows 10
2 monitors
Thanks

Hi Ricardo,
As mentioned above, Acrobat is crashing with multiple monitors on Win 10 machines, could you please check if an update is available for Acrobat using "Check for updates" option under "Help" menu, reboot the machine after installing update and try again. You may also download updates from here: Adobe - Acrobat : For Windows
If that doesn't work, launch Acrobat as an administrator and check if that helps: Run an Adobe program as administrator | Windows 7, Vista
Also, let us know dot version of Acrobat installed on the machine? To check the version in Acrobat: Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC
Is there any error message when Acrobat crashes?
Thanks,
Shivam

Sorry, after the crash, when I try to open the app again, there is this message
"Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE Server"
The message is standard after each crash
Thanks

Hi Ricardo,
Thanks for the info. Could you confirm if you have the latest version of Acrobat installed on the machine by going into apps and features?
Also, if you have an Anti-virus program is installed on the machine, try disabling the program and check whether the problem is resolved.
Please refer to the following help document for the same:
Fatal error - Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server

Hello
I've tried the suggestions but nothing happens.
It is possible to get an old version of Acrobat Pro?
Thanks

Hi Ricardo M,
Could you check if an update is available for the Graphics card? You can check the same by going into the device manager or on the manufacturer's website.
Also, could you confirm the graphics card installed on both the monitors - primary and secondary?
