I had no problem with Adobe Acrobat 2017 after installing a week or so ago. It was working well.
Today, I kept getting the message: "Adobe Acrobat 2017 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I scanned the document and tried to save the file to a folder, and kept getting the above message.
I wished I did not buy this version and kept the old version.
What do I do now?

Anand Sri: It's so frustrated.
So far, I cannot resolve the issue. I have done every step on this link from you Resolve Acrobat DC intermittent crashes on Windows
except Solution 5: Use a different Windows user account. I am the ONLY user and there is NO other users.I know you just work here, I know you only work at Adobe, but Adobe Acrobat 2017 is absolutely horrible product.
I even un-installed and re-installed it. Problem is still existing.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused. If possible, enable the hidden admin account, and check with the Acrobat.
Let us know if it works in the Hidden(root) administrator account.

It worked now. I did not follow your instruction of enable the hidden admin account. The instruction is very confusing.
These are the simpler steps to see and change hidden admin account:
1) Go to Adobe Acrobat 2017 icon and right click.
2) Click on Properties.
3) Click on Security.
It will show Group or user names:
- SYSTEM
- My name(xxx-PC\Owner)
- Administrators (My name-PC\Administrators)
- Interactive
"To change permissions, click Edit.
Permissions for SYSTEM
Full control - Allow
Modify - Allow
Read & execute - Allow
Read - Allow
Write - Allow

Adobe Acrobat 2017 is now running wild. It's popped up 15 times and clogged my computer to a craw.
The program is causing so much headache!

Hello,
If the Acrobat is working in the Admin account, then it seems to be a User profile issue. Please check for any pending updates of Windows from Windows update, or if possible , repair the Operating system.
Let us know how it goes.
