Windows 10: Why cant I download Adobe Acrobat?

It says that this app isn't "trusted". I don't care, it's my computer, let me download the app. This is completely unacceptable. Adobe is required for my job and school. This needs to be resolved immediately. Also, the process for getting support is obnoxiously complex. There should be a link to contact you with an Agent, or a telephone number to call.

Hello,

I suggest you to check the app in the Programs and features.
To do so follow the below steps.

1. Press Windows + R, type appwiz.cpl

If the application is not present in the Programs & Features
then Suggest you to download the app from the link.

Adobe Acrobat

You certainly have my permission to use Adobe Acrobat, if that makes any difference. ;-)

Although you can install applications from a Standard user account with the 'Run as Administrator' option, some applications just install better from an Administrators account.

• Sign in to a user account with Administrators permissions.
• Download the installer for Adobe Acrobat.
• Temporarily disable your antivirus protection.
• Install Adobe Acrobat. Open the program and wait until it's completely loaded.
• Close Adobe Acrobat. Re-enable your antivirus protection.
• Sign out of the Administrators account and sign back in to your Standard account.

You should be good to go.
