Combine PDF pages from Windows Explorer

Question

Recently upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, running Acrbat X (fully updated) I used to be able to highlight a group of pdf's in an explorer window, right click in the highlight, click "combine supported files into one pdf" and the combine files window would pop up where I could arrange the order, then combine the files.

Now if I highlight a group of pdf files, right click in the highlight, select "combine files" it opens the Acrobat X home screen where I have to start from scratch. You have to select "combine files", then import the files you want to combine, and proceed from there. It used to be easy, now it's not.

Any suggestions?

I can tell you that using the cloud-subscription version of Acrobat DC on Windows 10.0.17763, I am able to combine files using either File Explorer or my preferred substitute of xplorer². This leads me to believe that your version of Acrobat is too old to have all its features supported on Windows 10. Adobe ended support for Acrobat X in November 2015.

ETA: I was right. Acrobat X is not compatible with Windows 10. If you really need that feature, you'll need to upgrade to Acrobat DC. https://community.adobe.com/t5/Acrobat/is-Acrobat-X-Standard-compatible-with-Windows-10/td-p/7716799
