Issue Privacy Settings Acrobat DC

Suddenly, my Acrobat has decided to not work correctly. I am getting this message that Acrobat cannot access my Desktop. I open the Privacy Panel but it doesn't allow it automatically; at first I couldn't add "Desktop"; then I removed Acrobat from Privacy in an effort to just add the whole app, and now I can't ad the app so essentially is even worse. Acrobat won't even open the file I had saved.

AArgh!

Yes, it is unlocked. I can only delete Privacy settings essentially.

help!

OSX 12.3.1
