Acrobat Pro prevents Windows 10 from Sleeping or Hibernating
Adobe Acrobat (version 2026.001.21789) is preventing Windows 10 from sleeping or hibernating, regardless of how it is launched. Sleep is not re-enabled until Acrobat is exited.
Additional diagnostic information is below. Here are the results from a powercfg /requests command showing the process which is preventing sleep. These processes disappear from this list after Acrobat is closed.
