Apparently, Adobe is phasing-in "the new Adobe experience" since May... SOME users might receive (and notice) this.   For more information/details, see https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.html

Among other things, the Menu bar across the top is being replaced with a "hamburger" Menu button.   If you wish to return to the old/customary "experience", click on the hamburger Menu button, and select "Disable new Acrobat Reader", and confirm your desire to restart Reader.

If you wish to try out (or re-enable) the "new" experience, click on VIEW, and select "Enable new Acrobat Reader", and confirm your desire to restart Reader.

I'm glad I haven't needed Adobe Reader for a long time. Microsoft Edge is great for reading PDFs and text can be copy/pasted from them too.
