According to https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html#version-history the current CPU-Z release is 1.97
PMPC tries to download release 1.98 and fails.

Would be great if the definitions get corrected.

The issue is still not resolved?!?
Would you mind updating your definitions?

PMPC creates a log file in the same folder it is copied to, what does that log file tell you about the issue?

Is there a way for the downloader to just "follow the language"?

See the marked section in the options in the attached image.

Did you disable using Intune or through something like group policy?

I did not use Intune, just group policy.

You can check the article at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/automatic-updates---acrobat-reader.html
I successfully used the registry setting to disable auto-updates for Adobe Reader DC.

You can change the portable apps folder, see attached image.

See the attached image about how to change the path for the portable apps folder.

PMPC is still maintained, the last software update was a few months ago.
The software definitions are updated on workdays.

I don't know.
Where do you usually download the installers from?
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/ does not contain the 64-bit installer.

Change the folder location as seen in the attached image.

As of https://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/ it is possible to download a 64-bit release of Acrobat Reader, see attached image.

Below the excerpt of the PMPC log file:

The PDN installer shows the message that the installer is not build to support the x86 architecture, see attached image.
Since PMPC is downloading the x64 installer for x86 Windows, this seems to be the problem.

Same issue on Windows 8 x86:

So it seems that there was an error during an update in the past.
You should be safe to uninstall all Opera installations starting with the latest and ending with the oldest.
After this install the latest Opera and go ahead.
Usually the user settings of an application are not removed from the system or the uninstaller asks, if you like to keep them.

Do you find the referenced instances in the uninstaller section of PMPC?
Have you tried uninstalling them through PMPC?

If this does not work, we would have to wait for a PMPC staff member to describe the detection procedure for Opera.
