I run into no problems with using sumatra or okular, but Adobe Acrobat free seems to have this problem. Is there a way to fix this? The way I run context on windows is by making the doc in vscode (no extension, just plain vscode), compiling in Windows Terminal and using a pdf viewer to then view stuff.
As part of TeXlive there is a program called pdfopen (and a companion program called pdfclose) which may (or may not) help you out if you wish to continue using acroread. I am the last maintainer (as far as I know!) of the Linux version of this program for TeXlive. I never use windows, but my understanding is there is (or was) a version for windows. You might want to look to see if you can find this. Cheers. Jim
