I have just waded through all of those updates 1 at a time and if you un-install KB2917929 it will solve the problem. Believe it or not Microsoft call it a compatibility update!!!!

Is KB2919355 on your update list? I removed KB2917929 and when that didn't help I removed that update--it's a big one--and that solved the problem for me.

Unfortunately it screwed up lots of other things and left me with a system that was essentially Windows 8.05. I decided to reinstall and forget about Acrobat for the time being. If it works in Windows 10 I'll use it, otherwise I'll get someone else's pdf editor....
