What is AcroTray EXE on my computer?
Some users might wonder what exactly AcroTray is. AcroTray is basically an extension (or helper application) of Adobe for converting documents to the PDF file format.
This helper application enables users to print PDFs directly from MS Office applications. It also keeps track of Acrobat updates.
Is AcroTray EXE safe?
The real AcroTray EXE is a legitimate Adobe Acrobat file and process. However, as it’s an EXE file, some malware programmers disguise their virus script as AcroTray EXE files.
If you haven’t installed Acrobat, and notice an AcroTray.exe process in Task Manager, you’ve most probably discovered an AcroTray virus.
Do I need Adobe AcroTray at startup?
As mentioned, PDF document conversion is the primary function of AcroTray. So, users who often convert documents to PDF format need AcroTray to start with Windows.
Should I disable AcroTray?
Disabling AcroTray could generate some document conversion issues. However, it’s a somewhat superfluous background helper application for users who don’t need to convert documents to PDF format.
Furthermore, AcroTray can slow down your system startup a little bit and consume RAM. Thus, there are some good reasons to disable AcroTray. Users who don’t need really need that helper application should consider disabling it.
How do you stop AcroTray?
Following the above steps will terminate the AcroTray process. However, AcroTray will automatically start during system startup on many users’ PCs.
So, you might also need to disable it on Task Manager’s Startup tab to stop it from starting.
How do I get rid of the AcroTray EXE application error?
Some users have posted on Adobe’s forum about AcroTray error or Acrotray.exe was unable to start correctly error messages that pop up in Windows.
Users can stop those error messages popping up by disabling ActroTray so it doesn’t start.
Disabling AcroTray via the Startup tab might be enough to stop it from starting automatically.
However, some users might also need to disable AcroTray services and all Adobe-related programs on Task Manager’s Startup tab to ensure it never starts.
Disabling AcroTray will stop its error messages from popping up, but won’t actually fix them. Users might need to reinstall Adobe Acrobat, or at least update it, to fix AcroTray issues.

Although AcroTray serves an important Adobe Acrobat function, for many users it might still be a superfluous process.
