Windows 10: Why would Show All or Hide All in Sticky Notes launch Acrobat Reader?

I have an end user using Sticky Notes. When they either show all, hide all, notes list or settings when right clicking the Sticky Notes icon in the taskbar, Acrobat Reader opens an alert "There was an error opening this document. The file cannot be found."Sticky Notes still preforms the action being requested, just that Adobe continues to throw the alert.Running Windows 10Have tried resetting Sticky Notes, problem continues.Tried uninstalling and re-installing from the MS Store. Still an Issue.

Sticky Note Missing

Hi KeithRawlings,

I'm Charles, an Independent advisor trying to help.

Let's see if with the following steps we can solve the problem:

1.- Open >> Sticky notes, when located on the taskbar (Right click on the option) >> Select: List of Notes, now check if your note is in that list.

2.- Follow the steps suggested by the Windows MVP in your article

I hope the steps work for you

Attentive to any comments

Have a happy day

Best Regards,

Charles.
