Reminder:
The Adobe Reader/Acrobat updates insist on reactivating several associated StartUp programs (registry entries) and Service that you might have previously disabled.
I've found the most effective way to stop them is to use CCleaner, select Tools / Startup , and then click-on and DISABLE each of the Adobe entries (if present):
Acrotray (Adobe Assistant)
ARM
SpeedLauncher
[ Not sure why, but CCleaner is doing a better job on these Adobe "pests" than WinPatrol.... ]
The Adobe Acrobat Update Service can be disabled via WinPatrol.

"Interesting" new license agreement to use MSRT. :emotion-3:
I followed the link to find out how block it from reporting back to MS, but it's appears to be a dead end, in the sense that there are no instructions to block reporting.
I believe MSRT runs automatically when downloaded by WU, so how can we use command line switches for anything?
What the... ??:emotion-41:
