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!!!!

    Windows 10 allow installation without any mods also all cs2 programs install (the ones adobe gave away with serials including Acrobat 7 pro)

    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs2-product-downloads.html

    They may be old but for casual user still usable.

    That would be great if it (windows 8.1)allowed me to unistall the update.

    I go to Control panel - programs - program features-installed updates and highlite the update but there is no change or uninstall option. I even tried in safe mode - still no go

    Acrobat 7 does work in safe mode tho **** ?

    Any help to get rid of this update would be appreciated.

    Hi. I am not an expert, but I searched all my updates and could not find the ones mentioned here on the forum, and so could not delete them.  BUT - I did see the earlier post suggesting to create a local account to logon instead of using the online Microsoft account. When I did that my Adobe Acrobat 7 worked fine. No idea why it worked but it did. Hope this helps.
